In September 1989, the late George Bisson handed over the Quennevais Camp site (now Les Ormes) and the surrounding properties to a Foundation (The Bosdet Foundation), which had as its principal aim to help people in need in Jersey through the development of the Les Ormes leisure facility.
Today, it is the profits generated from the Les Ormes Leisure Complex and the rental income on the rental and self catering properties that generate the charitable funds for the Bosdet Foundation. The objective is to increase the funds available over the coming years with the development of further self catering.
The objectives of the Bosdet Foundation are:
- To provide assistance to local people; this includes smaller items such as household items, furniture and shoes, to larger capital sums such as minibuses, and includes the provision of loans.
- To provide support for project appeals from clubs, associations or groups where it is felt it will benefit significant numbers.
- To hold, administer and manage Les Ormes for sporting, leisure, recreational and conservation activities.
- To maintain the Foundation properties as a source of rental income to provide monetary support to the charitable causes.
