Chloë will have her hair shaved off on 24 April and is encouraging colleagues and contacts to make a donation to support the cause over the coming weeks.

No stranger to fundraising, Chloë has already completed a number of challenges to support local charities over recent years, including completing the Three Peaks Challenge, abseiling down Mont Orgueil last year, taking part in White Collar Boxing competitions twice, paddleboarding around the island and White Collar DJ-ing.

But as she explains, this year Chloë wanted to take on a different kind of challenge, more aligned with the mental health aims of the charity she is supporting:

“I’ve pushed my limits in plenty of physical challenges in the past, but this one is different. There’s a strong emotional connection to our hair and choosing to let go of it, particularly in such a public way, feels like an impactful away to shine a light on young people’s mental health. I really hope people can get behind the initiative and we can raise a good sum of money to support Youthful Minds, a charity that is important to me as well as my colleagues.”

Anyone wishing to donate to support Chloë’s ‘Brave the Shave’ challenge can do so here using reference ‘Brave the Shave donate’ in the comments.

Heather Tibbo, CEO, Crestbridge FOS, added: “This is such a personal challenge and I really admire Chloë for taking it on to support our chosen charity this year. Youthful Minds does an incredible amount to support young people right across our community and I’m really pleased that our team is continuing to make such a fantastic commitment to support their aims.”

Chloë’s challenge builds on colleague Josh Cullinan’s efforts to support Youthful Minds too – Josh will be raising money for Youthful Minds by competing in the London to Brighton Ultra Marathon in May, covering 100km in one single run from the capital to the south coast.

Amy Hall, Children, Young Person and Families Service Manager at Mind Jersey, added: “It’s fantastic that the team at Crestbridge Family Office Services is continuing to provide Youthful Minds with so much support this year. I’m truly grateful that Chloë is taking on such a personal initiative to support us, both financially and also by raising awareness around mental health in young people in the island.”

Josh, who only started distance running last year, has set himself the challenge of competing in the London to Brighton Ultra Marathon this May, covering 100km in one single run from the capital to the south coast.

The route begins in London and stretches all the way down to Brighton’s iconic seafront, covering a mix of city streets, country lanes, and the beautiful but demanding trails of the South Downs, finishing at Brighton Beach. It’s expected to take anywhere between 12 and 18 hours to complete, depending on conditions and pacing — a full day of endurance, grit, and focus.

The money raised through the challenge will go to the charity Youthful Minds – Crestbridge FOS’ chosen charity again this year – which works to support young people’s mental health in Jersey, providing guidance, understanding, and safe spaces for those who may be struggling.

Commenting on his challenge ahead, Josh said: “I’m incredibly proud to be raising funds for Youthful Minds, a charity that is important to me as well as my colleagues. Mental health support for young people is something that truly matters, and by taking on this 100km ultra, I hope to not only test my own limits and mental strengths but also make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. I’ve always been drawn to pushing myself outside of my comfort zone and challenging myself both physically and mentally and this event represents both. I look forward to the challenge, and also the beautiful scenery along the way – all for a very good cause.”

Heather Tibbo, CEO, Crestbridge FOS, added: “We are very proud of Josh for taking on this challenge in support of our chosen charity this year. The work Youthful Minds does in supporting young people in our community is crucial and aligns with our own company values of placing the wellbeing of people – our peers, our clients and their families – at the heart of what we do.”

Amy Hall, Children, Young Person and Families Service Manager at Mind Jersey, added: “It’s fantastic to have the continued support of Crestbridge Family Office Services again this year, and we’re truly grateful for the efforts Josh is going to, to raise money for Youthful Minds. Support like this is incredibly valuable in helping us to raise awareness around mental health in young people in the island, and we’ll absolutely be cheering him on as he undertakes this impressive challenge.”

We were delighted to welcome Amy Hall, Children, Young Persons and Families Service Manager at Mind Jersey, along with volunteers from Youthful Minds to our office.

They shared their experiences and insights into the challenges faced by young people today — it was both inspiring and thought-provoking.

Hearing directly about the work they do was a powerful reminder of the meaningful impact we can make together.

We look forward to continuing to support the Youthful Minds programme in 2026.

Fabio took part in the Istria 100 by UTMB challenge last month, which saw him cover a distance of 110 kilometres over difficult and technical terrain, including sections of coasteering, forests and canyons.

Competing alongside more than 500 runners from across the globe, Fabio completed the world-renowned ultra-trail race in 15 hours raising more than £1,000 for Youthful Minds, which Crestbridge FOS has chosen to support in 2025 as part of its ongoing commitment to the local community.

Youthful Minds marks its 10th anniversary this year and is led by a group of volunteers aged 11-26, all of whom have a passion for raising awareness and reducing stigma around mental health in Jersey. Supporting Youthful Minds, part of Mind Jersey, is a natural fit for Crestbridge FOS, with the firm having a clear focus on providing services for client families while also placing a significant emphasis on the wellbeing of its own people.

Commenting on his achievement, Fabio said:

“This was a physically, mentally and emotionally challenging event but knowing I was running for such a worthwhile cause in Youthful Minds kept me going even when self-doubt was creeping in. Having my five-year-old son to cheer me on also helped and I was delighted to have crossed the finish line while raising funds and awareness for a charity close to my heart.”

Heather Tibbo, CEO, Crestbridge FOS, added:

“This is an impressive challenge and a significant personal achievement for Fabio and I congratulate him on this fantastic success. He has pushed himself to the limit in order to raise funds for our nominated local charity. The work Youthful Minds does in supporting young people in our community is crucial and aligns with our own company values of placing our people, our clients and their families at the heart of what we do.”
