Teresa Drage with her supporters as she completed her Mayday Mile challenge Picture: Weymouth RNLI When she began her Mayday Mile challenge, Teresa, 52, had hopes of raising £300 for RNLI Weymouth, where she works as the head of fundraising. After crossing the finish line of her 31st mile, Teresa has raised £2,000 more than she dreamed she would - with a total of £2,300. She said: I want to thank each and every one of you who has supported my in my Mayday Mile challenge, it has been absolutely mindblowing, all the words of encouragement from my family, friends and complete strangers. As head of fundraising, Teresa was keen to lead by example and is proud to have put her best foot forward to raise money for a charity she has supported in many capacities, including organising a lifeboat week fundraising event and working in the RNLI shop.

Weymouth s famous Jubilee Clock has turned orange. Pictures: Ros Dean/Repair Cafe Weymouth THE iconic Jubilee Clock has turned orange to recognise Weymouth’s Repair Café and the work it does for the community. Repair Cafe Weymouth is run by volunteers and offers expert repairing skills – mechanical, electrical, electronic, carpentry, sewing, jewellery and craft – to fix broken items to avoid them going in the bin unnecessarily. While events are currently suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, Repair Cafe Weymouth hopes to restart with a four-hour event on Saturday, September 11 September from 10.30am. Weymouth Town Council is lighting up the clockface throughout 2021 to raise awareness for good causes. The council aims to represent one cause or charity per month, with the clock being lit for up to three days during the month.
