So far this year, Skipton International has donated £35,000 to charities and community projects across the Channel Islands through its fund.
Among the Guernsey charities supported is Margo’s Marvellous Mind, helping the family move closer to the next stage of Margo’s stem cell journey.
Born in September 2023 as one of triplets, Margo has faced extraordinary challenges from the very start of her life. Despite living with the effects of a severe brain injury, she continues to show remarkable strength every day.
‘The donation is a huge milestone in Margo’s journey and brings us so much closer to our next step on her stem cell journey,’ said Naomi Foley, from the charity.
‘It’s more than just a donation, it’s a gift of hope for Margo’s future, and we can’t thank the committee enough for their support.’
Fenella Comeskey, chair of the Skipton Community Fund Committee, said the charities supported by the fund showed the breadth and importance of the work taking place across the Channel Islands every day.
‘From health and wellbeing to inclusion, sustainability and practical support for families, local charities play a vital role in strengthening the communities we are proud to be part of,’ she said.
‘We are so pleased to have supported such a wide range of organisations, and we would encourage eligible charities and community groups across the Channel Islands to apply before the next closing date.’
The Skipton Community Fund supports non-profit organisations carrying out projects that benefit the local community in Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney and Sark. Applications are reviewed quarterly, with grants available of up to £3,000 per organisation.
The closing date for applications is 30 June. Find out more here.
