Buddies need donations to stay afloat
Local charity Beach Buddies is asking donors to keep giving after it was gifted £30,000 from government.
Founder Bill Dale says it's grateful for the sum - and the money will go on expanding the charity while it continues its work on cleaning the Island's beaches.
Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister Richard Ronan made the official announcement yesterday (24 August) - its intended to provide further public services.
Recruiting almost 7,000 volunteers since it was founded a decade ago - Bill says it still needs a continuous flow of cash to retain stability:
