Jersey Christmas Appeal Raises More Than £101,000

Sunday, 4 December 2022 11:49

Hundreds of prize lots have gone under the hammer for the annual appeal, raising money for struggling islanders.

Amongst the lots on offer were a three-course lunch with Jersey Chief Minister Deputy Kristina Moore, a round of golf with Ryder Cup captain Ian Woosnam OBE and an autographed Red Bull undervest worn by Formula One World Champion Max Verstappen.

The grand final live broadcast on Channel 103 was hosted by ITV's Jess Dunsdon, Charlie McArdle from BBC Channel Islands, Channel 103's Jason King and Fiona Walker, who said:

"Thanks to the generosity of islanders we've managed to raise an incredible £101,193!

This money will go directly to ensuring hundreds of less fortunate islanders will have a good Christmas."

Funds raised for the Jersey Christmas appeal are used to provide food, fuel and toy vouchers for Islanders needing support across the festive period.
