Head of the Children's Centre anticipates many young people will require its support
The Head of the Children's Centre says Island charities are going to become 'needed and neccessary' following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Joff Whitten anticipates many children will require the support of the charity after long periods of isolation from school and friends.

Staff are undertaking a range of challenges such as a 26-mile bike ride, a 2.6km run, and 26 keepy-uppies, in a bid to raise £1,000 for the organisation.
