We are now busy visiting Year 12 students from secondary schools around the island to launch the Charity Challenge for 2016-17. We already have an amazing ten teams signed up from King William’s College – a record!

I will soon be coming round to the schools to see all the students who have signed up to give the ‘How to Choose a Charity’ seminar – to help you to make the best choice about the charity that you will represent.

The next event will be the ‘Meet the Charities’ day on Wednesday 12th October, at which participating students will get the opportunity to meet representatives from the Manx-based charities and ask them questions about the amazing work that they undertake, helping to transform lives in developing countries.
