GALLERY: Big Gift Sale raises record amount for work in Nepal

The annual Fort Regent sale, now in its sixth year, sells donations of unwanted Christmas presents to raise funds, and this year’s efforts raised £7,000, including £1,600 at the sale itself – far exceeding last year’s total of £4,500.

Organiser Peter Allman said that it had been a ‘brilliant’ day and that up to 400 Islanders turned up to the sale, which was held on Saturday between 9 am and noon.

Jersey Side by Side, which is currently assisting with relief projects in Nepal, which was hit by a series of earthquakes last year, was set up in 2005 following the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami which caused devastation across south-east Asia.

More information about the charity and details of how to donate to it are available on its Facebook page.
