The annual Night Ride event, backed and organised by Healthspan and the Guernsey Bicycle Group, is introducing a shorter family-friendly route for 2015, yet still has the more arduous longer routes for those seeking a challenge.

If you are looking for an interesting, more socially conscious gift for a friend or loved one this Christmas, then this is the opportunity you have been looking for.

Last Saturday 377 local riders cycled a combined total of 10,500 miles and raised £9,000 for two local charities.

The Guernsey Bicycle Group is organising another NightRide after the inaugural event last year was so successful and popular.The first NightRide last year saw over 300 local cyclists raise more than £7,000 for charity by riding around the moonlit roads of the island one evening.

Guernsey's triathlon event is back for another year on Sunday 7th September 2014 to raise funds for local charity Hope for a Child.

The Guernsey Arts Commission has budgeted £10,000 to support emerging bands and music groups. Interested groups can apply for a £1,000 grant to develop their careers, to pay for promotion, gig expenses, studio time or CD pressing.

This September is the inaugural "Hospice-tality for our Hospice" (H4H) month when we are looking for people to volunteer to eat, drink, socialise and raise money for Les Bourgs Hospice.

Help us on our last plea to raise money for this amazing local charity.
