The appeal was launched to generate the £30,000 needed to light up Town for the festive period.
“We are absolutely thrilled to receive this grant and so grateful to be recognised a worthy organisation by the Guernsey Community Foundation,” said Acting Chair and Trustee of St Peter Port Christmas Lights, Jax Robin.
“So far, thanks to Guernsey Post for our annual envelope drop and a campaign funded by Ninety One as well as this successful grant application, we have raised just over £28,000 of the £30,000 needed. So, with our deadline of 1 October fast approaching we are almost there which is fantastic.
“It’s been a particularly busy summer for businesses and the community, with a lot of pressure on escalating costs, but we are asking people to help us with our final push to ensure that Town is lit up beautifully over the festive period.”
The lights will be switched on before December, on the last Saturday in November. This year there’ll also be colour-changing festoon lighting between Albert and Crown Pier.
