Wednesday, 18 September 2024 07:40

This year's Island Walk has raised almost £140,000 for Jersey charities.

The majority of the £139,444 is being shared between the RNLI Jersey, Trees for Life and Skate Space.

Six other organisations  - Family First, Wednesday Night Football, National Trust Jersey, Sanctuary Trust, Variety and Healing Waves - are getting smaller grants.

There is also recognition for Rotary Club de la Manche, St John’s Ambulance, the Scouts and Girl Guides which all helped with the organisation and safety of the event.

Around 1,500 people took on the 48.1 mile coastal walk this summer.  It will be held again in 2025 on 21 June.

Applications from charities to benefit from next years walk may be submitted to Island Walk, PO Box 848, St Helier, JE4 0XA by 17th November with details of the project.
