Charities Seafront Sunday Postponed Due to Severe Weather Forecast
Organised by the Association of Guernsey Charities and GSPCA

It is with great disappointment that we announce the postponement of the first ever Charities Seafront Sunday, which was due to take place this weekend in St Peter Port.

Due to a forecast of high winds reaching nearly 50mph and heavy rain throughout Sunday, the Association of Guernsey Charities and Steve Byrne Director of the AGC & GSPCA Manager have made the difficult decision to postpone the event in the interest of safety for all involved – including stallholders, volunteers, visitors, and other events scheduled on the day.

Looking Ahead

While we had hoped to bring together dozens of local charities for a vibrant day of community celebration, the unpredictable autumn weather means that a new date is likely to be set for 2026.

We understand this will be disappointing for many, and we are exploring the possibility of holding another charity-focused event in the meantime. In the near future, we look forward to the AGC Conference, which will take place next month and offer another opportunity for charities to connect and collaborate.

For Stallholders

If you have paid a pitch fee for Charities Seafront Sunday, please email [email protected] to let us know your preference:

  • Request a refund
  • Donate your pitch fee to support local charities
  • Roll over your pitch fee to the rescheduled event in 2026

Steve Byrne said "We cannot believe the weather is not on our side for the first ever Charites Seafront Sunday which we had planned for this weekend."

"We are now trying to communicatee the message to all that were supporting us on what was set to be an outstanding day celebrating our community and all the great work that goes on."

"It also means the Dolphin Discovery Trail dolphins will now not be in town but will head to the Peninsula ahead of the auction on Wednesday."

"We are looking at what options there are for future AGC events and already have the Charity Sector Conference on Saturday 18th October."

"We are incredibly grateful for your support and understanding, and we remain committed to celebrating and supporting Guernsey’s charitable sector in every way we can."
