The annual Christmas Charity Appeal radio auction on Channel 103 has raised more than £60,000 to help disadvantaged families in Jersey enjoy a better Christmas.
Islanders bid on more than 200 lots during a five-hour live broadcast on our Jersey radio station.
The auction raised £52,059, while Pledge Your Wedge, through which people are asked to give a donation in exchange for the chance to win a holiday, raised a further £6,200.
The lucky winner scooped a two-week holiday to the Maldives.
“Once again the generosity of listeners in Jersey has been amazing,” said Fiona Walker (pictured), who co-hosted the live show with Channel 103 Breakfast presenter Peter Mac and BBC Radio Jersey afternoon presenter Darcy Kelly.
One of this year’s star lots was a VIP Tour and Tea of Government House in Jersey which raised an incredible £10,000.
The money raised by the appeal goes to improve Christmas for 1,500 disadvantaged individuals or families in Jersey each year, supplying 250 hampers, 1,250 food vouchers, 1,300 fuel vouchers and 1,000 young persons’ gift vouchers.
Popular station Channel 103 broadcasts to Jersey on 103.7FM, online and DAB+.
