Supporting local charities and events has always been close to our hearts. In 2013 and 2014, James ran the London Marathon in aid of VICTA, a children’s charity supporting families with blind and visually impaired children, and AMMF, small cancer charity funding vital research. He also completed the Reading Half Marathon for Oxfam.
Never one to shy away from a challenge, James secured another ballot place in the 2017 London Marathon, raising a further £12,000, which was split between AMMF and the Footsteps Foundation.
When James Gesner Estate Agents was founded in 2015, we chose to make the Footsteps Foundation our main charity partner. This amazing organisation helps children with cerebral palsy and other neuromotor disorders access its specialist therapy programme, as well as providing equipment to support them at home. Since then, our annual JG Charity Golf Day at Hadden Hill has raised thousands, and James has been honoured as a Footsteps Ambassador — a role he is extremely proud of.
To date, we have raised over £125,000 for a variety of charities, and we are committed to continuing this support for many years to come.
