More than 150 Islanders sign up for pioneering charity app

The Fit to Give app is the brainchild of businessman Peter Van Neste, who launched the piece of software locally, last month.

Users can download the app on to their mobile phone or tablet and select if they want to walk, run or cycle and which charity they would like to raise money for.

They are then matched with business sponsors who will donate up to six pence for ever mile users walk or run and three pence for every mile cycled.

Mr Van Neste said: ‘We have 160 registered users now all but one or two of them are in Jersey as we have only really marketed here. We have raised £120 so far. The aim is to get 200,000 people across Britain registered and raise £5 million in five years.’
