A Newport boutique is holding a raffle in aid of the Island's domestic abuse charity Wight DASH.

Pin Up Girls in Lugley Street has 40 prizes on offer for Islanders who take part.

All you need to do to enter is go and visit the store and buy a ticket.

Winners will be drawn from the hat - which will be streamed live on social media shortly after October 10.

Tickets are either £2 or five for £5.

Owner of the boutique, Emma Melson, said:

‘Domestic abuse is more common than many realise and it’s been on the rise recently through lockdown. We all wanted to help raise awareness and funds for IW DASH, the amazing charity that supports people on the Island if they find themselves in an abusive relationship. Charities have suffered through the pandemic as their normal fundraising routes have been limited.

'We’re very excited to be able to help and with so many fantastic prizes on offer, we hope our customers and friends will be keen to be involved!’

Tickets are either £2 or five for £5.
