WorkSafe in the Community

Kick On for Les Amis

At WorkSafe, we are passionate about giving back to the community. Through our partnership with IPOP, we proudly host the annual ‘Kick On for Les Amis’ 5-a-side charity football tournament supporting Les Amis, a local charity dedicated to empowering individuals with learning disabilities and associated conditions in Jersey.

Since its inception in 2022, this event has not only raised thousands of pounds for this incredible cause but has also fostered a strong sense of community. Teams from various sectors, including many construction companies, come together to compete, connect, and contribute to making a real difference.

Through Kick On for Les Amis, we continue to champion inclusivity and equal opportunities, ensuring that everyone has the support they need to thrive.
