Island Life

The help available to children who have been sexually assaulted is set to be enhanced, as Guernsey’s Willow House moves into its third and final year as a pilot project. Simon De La Rue paid a visit during this month’s Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence Awareness Week.

Twenty years ago today, Guernsey’s Mission Atlantic crew made history as they rowed into English Harbour, Antigua, at the end of a 2,937-mile voyage from St Sebastian de la Gomera in the Canary Islands, becoming the first women’s four ever to cross an ocean. To mark the anniversary, they share some of their most enduring memories of the experience with Helen Hubert.
