Charity
People of the Isle of Wight are incredibly charitable, perhaps it because of the strong community spirit. A week doesn’t go by without several features about Islanders trying to raise awareness or money for a charity.
They try all sorts of crazy challenges that capture the interest of others and help the cause. If you have some charitable news to share, get in touch.
