IW synchronized skating teams were among those to benefit from the first round of grants from the Wight Aid Foundation.

Wight Aid raises funds from businesses operating on the Isle of Wight and distributes it to local charities and good causes. It granted the IW skating club £500 to help the synchronized skating teams hire ice rinks on the mainland following the closure of Ryde Arena.

Wight Aid’s Nick Hessey presented the cheque to the skaters on 15 December.
