People, Place & Community with Island House LVM

Since its foundation in 2020, Island House LVM has grasped the opportunity to help support and sustain local initiatives and campaigns important to the people and communities of the TCI.

From education to environmental programmes, Island House firmly believes it is a duty of care to give back to the people and natural world in ways that make an impact however small. We also encourage our villa owners and guests to do the same, as little by little, combined efforts can make a real difference.

OUR SUPPORT for THE REEF FUND

The TC Reef Fund is a small but impactful local marine conservation organisation based in Long Bay, Providenciales. Founded in 2010, the Fund works passionately to “protect, preserve, and rebuild the coral reefs and marine ecosystems of the TCI through science, education, and local leadership.”

A major achievement has been the development of the first Living Coral Biobank in the UK Overseas Territories housing over 200 colonies of 11 different species. Selected for their unique genetics; these precious corals are key to restoring and replenishing the depleted TCI reefs with new life.

Island House LVM is proud to partner with TC Reef on the safe and responsible installation of villa Swim Zones, proceeds going towards the fundraising targets for local marine and coral conservation projects. Together we can restore our reefs.

Community & Education in the TCI

One of the founding principles of Island House is the fundamental right to knowledge and education which should be afforded to all children across the TCI.

For some years now, United Way has been our charity of choice with their longstanding mission to improve literacy and reading skills across the island’s schools and communities.

We support United Way throughout the year through their Sponsor a Child Programme and hope you may be inspired to do the same.
