Generous support from local people
COPA has continued to receive generous donations from individuals and groups in Guernsey.
New Basketball Court for Bombita
In 2006, a new basketball court was built in Bombita with donations given in memory of Mrs Syvret. Mrs Syvret's daughter Gill is a COPA committee member in Guernsey and she said “My Mum was a great believer in the benefit of young people's involvement in sport and this project is very much something that all in the community can benefit from.”
Help from Specsavers
COPA receives a generous donation from Specsavers in Guernsey. As a direct result of this donation, a local Optician visited La Hoya and Bombita over 2 days to provide free examinations to the children and adults.
The COPA Branch of Guernsey
Over the years there has been strong support for COPA from Guernsey. This has included help from a local builder in the construction of the La Hoya School, several key grants from the States of Guernsey Overseas Aid Committee and a continuing substantial number of individual sponsors. In recognition of these strong connections, the Branch of COPA Guernsey was established in 1999.
