Local charity 'Isle Help You' wants to support children, individuals and families in need.

The charity's Christmas appeal last year helped over 100 children and families with food packs and gifts, with this year being its tenth giving support at Christmas.

As a small organisation, their aim is to collaborate with other small charities to co-ordinate activities to help poverty on the Island.

In the long term, the charity hopes to build funding to offer grants to offer to those struggling to afford university education.
