WIN A HOLIDAY WORTH £1300 POUNDS ON THE BEAUTIFUL ISLE OF WIGHT

Isleofwight.com — Wed, 01 May 2013 10:32:06 +0000

We are giving away a holiday in Robin Cottage 19th – 26th July to help raise money for a little girl in the village who has been very sadly left paralysed from the neck down after contracting meningitis.
Her family obviously want to get her back home but have to make very significant changes to their bungalow to make it suitable for her needs which is why they need to raise funds. It is a great cause with a fantastic prize to be won. Wightlink ferries have also donated a return ferry crossing so all in all the offer is worth close around £1,300. It’s fine if someone wins the holiday and wants to give it to a friend or family member and equally if you live on the Island it is also a great opportunity to experience Island life from a different perspective!

RECORD BREAKING FUNDRAISER FOR THE ISLE OF WIGHT YOUTH TRUST
The Royal, Ventnor, held the fourth annual fundraising gala dinner for the Isle of Wight Youth Trust last Saturday (24/11/12) spectacularly raising over £37,000 which smashed all previous totals!

‘All the gala dinners have been great but this year was exceptional,’ said Eileen Monks, Director of the Isle of Wight Youth Trust. ‘It has been such a difficult time for a lot of small independent charities and having the support of the Royal and Bestival to generate funds, goodwill and raise awareness has been truly heart-warming and uplifting.’

The live auction was conducted by auctioneer Becky Ball from Hose Rhodes & Dickson Auction Room and raised over £10,000. Lots included the very special chance to be side stage for the Sunday mainline act at the Bestival as well as grand tier box at the Albert Hall and the opportunity to have a portrait painted by acclaimed artist Evgeniya Buyanova. A silent auction included lots from artist Matthew Chambers, Goodleaf Tree Climbing, Barefoot on the Beach, Jenny Sprackling, The Garlic Farm, Really Well Made, Wine Therapy, Rapanui, BeCalmed, Lakeside Spa Hotel, Morgans Restaurant , Pete Jenness, Isle of Wight Campervan Holidays, Body Byrne, Wisteria Gallery and Isle of Wight Adventure Activities.

After a delicious four-course seasonal dinner, guests were entertained by Edana Minghella and band. ‘Edana is captivating and moving in equal parts – it was the perfect end to a very special evening,’ said William Bailey

The monies raised by the evening will go toward the Youth Trust’s ‘Works’ programme which helps and supports young islanders experiencing issues with drugs and alcohol. The High Sheriff, Nick Hayward, gave a speech highlighting the fact that the island has huge pockets of deprivation and some of the worst national statistics for youth drink and drug misuse. He reinforced that is why it’s so important to support the Youth Trust who provide a life saving and life-changing service to young islanders.

If you are a young person experiencing difficulties with drink and drugs and would like to talk to someone please call the Works on 01983 717656. The Youth Trust also have a 24hr answer phone service 01983 529569
