Jennifer Burland Adams of The Centre on Philanthropy said: "The Centre on Philanthropy is excited to partner with the Argus Group on the Argus Walk the Walk.

"We hope that teams of employees, students and friends will walk in support of their favourite charity. The Centre is encouraging charities to work together for the greater good, and events such as the Walk the Walk that bring companies, individuals, schools and charities together will go a long way in helping us to achieve this."

Gerald Simons, chief executive officer of Argus, said: "As one of the longest-serving insurance providers on the Island, the Argus Group is dedicated to strengthening and adding value to the community where we live and work.

"We are partnering with the Centre on Philanthropy for the Argus Walk the Walk Charity 5K as doing so will benefit a number of charities in a single event. We hope the walk will also raise the profile of The Centre of Philanthropy as an information resource that can help charities be more effective."
