Virtual Celeb Concert Raises Funds For Wessex Cancer Trust

Frank Turner

A concert which featured the Island's Lauran Hibberd, Bang Bang Romeo and Mark King from Level 42 has raised over £1,000 for Wessex Cancer Trust.

The event which took place online last Saturday, as previously reported by Isle of Wight Radio, saw more than 10,500 Islanders tune in.

However, the charity is still hoping to hit its £2,000 target and is urging Islanders to watch the show - which is now available to stream.

Community Engagement Manager Lorraine White said:

"We've had so many positive comments from everyone who tuned in on Saturday, it was such a feel-good event and many have said it moved them to tears.

"We'd like to thank everyone who donated their time and expertise to make it happen. Times have been tough for everyone and we feel Wessex Aid was a great way to lift people's spirits. If you can watch and donate - even a little - please do. All money raised will help support local people affected by cancer and every penny makes a difference."
