Thanks to Suzanne and Alan for this latest report. Ed
Claire Locke, High Sheriff, was amongst the guests at the prizegiving and was thrilled to receive a cheque for £750.
Claire said that her charity would match this amount and pass the £1,500 on to IYWAC a charity which enables disadvantaged young people to undertake water activities.
She added that although in some calculations, the Island is classed as part of the prosperous South East, there was evidence of deprivation in some areas and the change in the education system here had not helped.
Therefore giving young people the chance to take up a sport would aid their education and well being.
