The Bosdet Foundation, the Jersey charity funded entirely by the profits of Les Ormes Resort, has appointed three new Board members as it prepares to increase its charitable giving to £700,000 in 2027. 

Emily La Conte, Vickie Corson and Tracey Peters have been officially appointed following the Foundation’s call for new Board members in September. All three will begin their duties in December.  

Emily La Conte is a Chartered Company Secretary with experience in the financial sector and civil service. Alongside her professional career, she is the Charity Secretary and a Committee Member of BeachAbility Jersey, where she supports the charity’s governance and its work providing accessible beach experiences for both islanders and visitors to Jersey. “I am delighted to be joining the Bosdet Foundation board. At such an exciting time for the Foundation, it is a real privilege to have the opportunity to bring my experience, enthusiasm and commitment to help make a lasting difference to children, families and people across Jersey.” Emily La Conte, Board member, The Bosdet Foundation. 

Vickie Corson is a qualified accountant and has wide ranging experience in Jersey’s finance sector. Most recently she was a senior tutor and client relationship manager for BPP International Finance. She is now a free-lance tutor for professional qualification alongside a focus on professional wellbeing training and awareness. 

She has also been chair for the Maufant Youth Project since its formation in 2020; "I am delighted to be appointed to the Bosdet Foundation. I hope to combine my skills as an accountant and my knowledge as chair of the Maufant Youth Project Charity to further support the valuable work of the foundation in supporting Jersey’s families in need.” Vickie Cornon, Treasurer, The Bosdet Foundation. 

Tracy Peters spent many years in education, first as a lecturer and then as a librarian and archivist and is now an advocate for Jèrriais. She joins the Board as her time on the Youth Court Panel comes to an end. “For the last ten years I’ve served as a Youth Court Panel member, and I’m only leaving that role now because the law insists that I must. I hope to use that experience at Bosdet and focus on teens, where appropriate.” Tracy Peters, Board member, The Bosdet Foundation. 

They join following the departure of former Board members Alison Fossey MBE, Advocate Tony Robinson and Andy Tomlinson. 

“We set out to find two new Board members and we’re delighted to be welcoming three. Emily, Vickie and Tracey each bring something different – Emily’s experience at BeachAbility, Vickie’s financial know-how as our new Treasurer, and Tracey’s work with young people through the Youth Court Panel. With our charity budget rising to £700,000 in 2027, this is the right time to grow the team, and I’m really looking forward to working with them.” Mike Graham, Managing Director of Les Ormes. 

The Bosdet Foundation is funded in an unusual way. It wholly owns Les Ormes Resort, and the resort profits pay for its charitable work - so every stay, padel match, golf round, meal, haircut or Jump Jersey session helps support Islanders and children in need. 

In 2027 the Foundation’s charity budget will rise to £700,000, and by 2030 it will commit £1 million a year. The new Board members will help shape how that support reaches the people who need it most.
