St John Ambulance in Guernsey is appealing to the public and local businesses, to help support a major fundraising campaign.
The charity was about to launch a major fundraising project to support its work in the community, just before lockdown was announced.
St John is looking to raise more than £100,000 to continue improving the lives of islanders in Guernsey.
As soon as we were made aware of the new lockdown our focus immediately turned towards supporting the community and adapting our services to meet the urgent needs of islanders. We’ve stopped some of our regular activities and have concentrated on the essential deliveries service, Caring Caller, prescription deliveries, vaccination centre transport and decontamination team.

Guernsey has gone into lockdown for the second time.
The decision was made following confirmation of four new positive cases of Covid-19 where it was not clear how they contracted the virus, as none were directly from travel or the contacts of known cases of travellers.
