Founder and Chairman Andrew Munro said the support from volunteers Fran Browning and Laura Bampton has kept the show on the road; however, with more funding the sky’s the limit.
“Funding has come at just the right time,” he said. “Having a team of people in place, solely committed to delivering our campaigns, will be a game changer for the charity’s future and I’m excited at the possibilities that lie ahead!”

A grant has now been awarded to the Trust which allows for the hiring of ‘Eco-Heros’ Helen Quin and Camilla Smilie.
“It’s fulfilling to be able to live my personal values through my job,” Ms Quin. “I’m really grateful to have found such a dynamic and unique role here in Guernsey, and to be working alongside a team of passionate and like-minded people.”
That includes Emily Gabb, who has joined as a professional seamstress. Her position has been funded by Condor Ferries and will see her supporting The Repair Café with upcycling.
