We now have 20 teams from five schools – that means that 20 small charities working in the developing world are being represented in the Charity Challenge. The teams are now busy researching their chosen charities and will soon be starting to create their multi-media presentations. We are really pleased that Ramsey Grammar School have put forward five teams, in their first year of taking part in the Charity Challenge.
The next stage will be to find out which charities will be represented in the final! This will be decided at the in-school competitions, normally held at the start of February. Two teams will be going to the final from King William’s College, as they have supported the Challenge by putting forward so many teams this year.
The final will be held on the evening of Wednesday 2nd March, at the Manx Museum. Rehearsals will take place on the previous day, Tuesday 1st March.
