The chief executive of the Steam Packet Company says they're proud to have supported community projects during this year.

The organisation has been involved in assisting a variety of them - including giving veterans with life-changing injuries the chance to visit the Southern 100 and helping a trio of friends doing a gruelling 170-mile cycle for Island charities.

Mark Woodward says supporting communities is 'very close to our hearts' and is looking forward to continuing that in 2019.

He added the company's role in aiding individuals, organisations and events has been very diverse.
