Charity Events

Children’s Hospice South West

CHSW provide palliative, respite, end of life and bereavement hospice care for children with life-limiting conditions. At Girling Jones we couldn’t imagine supporting any other charity and we’ve pledged to raise £10,000 every year for the Hospice since we launched.

Oak Offset

Part of our award winning “Supergreen” policy pledges to offset twice our annual CO2 emissions. We’ve teamed up with local Eco Hero “Matt Pulfer” to help launch “Oak Offset” a Devon based ‘not-for-profit’ business which helps businesses their CO2 emissions by planting trees in their locality. We’d love you to get involved?
