On Friday 15th June 2018 in St. Helier, businesses will once more have the opportunity to compete and have a huge amount of fun whilst venting their corporate fury by settling a score in public, in safety and all for a brilliant cause – Prosperity Day. Prosperity Day#4, will be even BIGGER, we are inviting up to eighteen corporate rivals to take to the saddle once more and #VentYourFury #HeadToHead. Your teams will need to be able to ride a bike, shout for (at) each other and have fun – that is about the sum of it!
Prosperity Day is the ultimate event to settle corporate rivalry from the safety of the saddle!
In 2017 we had 18 teams racing for pride and esteem, striving to take the top spot at our evening celebration event and lift the cherished Prosperity Cup.
Competition was fierce, both from race day performance and through fund raising activities (we run leaderboards for both and the winners have to perform exceedingly well on both fronts to have a chance of lifting the Cup). Last year’s final was hotly contested between Sure, Camerons and JT Global with Camerons taking the coveted trophy by comprehensively topping the fund raising leaderboard with a truly sterling performance which contributed to record funds for Teenage Cancer Trust and Durrell.
Why do we run Prosperity Day? Prosperity 24.7 isn’t a company who does CSR just to tick a box, we do it because being a part of our community is a critical part of who we are. We held Prosperity Day for the third time last year. The event saw 18 local businesses racing head to head with 54 riders on turbo trainers cycling up a stage of La Vuelta in Spain, raising £18,742. In just three years we’ve raised £50,699 for local charities which we believe has positively impacted more than 12,000 lives across the Islands – This is simply phenomenal and this is why we run Prosperity Day!
This year Prosperity 24.7 are supporting two incredible charities – The British Heart Foundation Jersey and Jersey Cheshire Home – both provide essential services to Islanders’ so we really want to make a major contribution with the support of all the teams and their friends, this is why:
Heart and circulatory disease is a huge burden on people in the Channel Islands and across the UK. Responsible for one in four deaths each year, it’s one of Jersey’s biggest killers. It’s a big problem, but with your help, we’re leading the fight against it.

The participants of Prosperity Day will get an added extra this year, thanks to Prosperity 24.7’s support we hope to bring a novel ‘heart bypass tent’ to the heart of St. Helier so participants can be monitored before and after their endeavours to get an impromptu health check up!
JERSEY CHESHIRE HOME
Jersey Cheshire Home is the only residential facility for physically disabled adults on the Island.
Demand for such services is growing and the charity is investing £2 million in a major extension and refurbishment project named the Big Build, which is due for completion in October.
The home provides 24/7 care and support to those living with a range of disabilities including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, Epilepsy, Spina Bifida, Strokes and Head injuries. Some residents are victims of tragic accidents.
Our purpose built facility may only cater for a limited number of full time residents, but through our additional Day Care, Aquatherapy & Physiotherapy services we help over 400 people a month to manage and improve their condition.
Over the 30 plus years we have been operating our support staff have helped many hundreds of people with complex conditions to get through some extremely challenging times. Their dedication and commitment considerably benefits those we care for and creates the welcoming place our residents call home.
GET INVOLVED
Your three team members will need to be able
