Accountancy and advisory firm Augment are to be the sponsor of Isle of Play’s new community-driven fundraising initiative ‘Grand Year’.
Grand Year invites individuals, families, groups and workplaces to raise £1,000 over the course of 12 months – the equivalent of just £2.73 a day.
Every pound raised will go directly towards supporting play-based programmes for children on the Isle of Man who may not otherwise have access to safe spaces, support, or opportunities for learning and connection.
Grand Year
The initiative is designed to be flexible, inclusive and fun, with participants encouraged to raise their £1,000 in any way they choose.
Jonathan Richards FCA, Owner‑Director at Augment said: “As a parent you quickly realise how little space there is these days for unstructured, imaginative play. The kind where kids invent their own games, solve their own problems and learn how to get along.
“What Isle of Play offers is something really special; time and freedom to figure things out together, away from screens.
“Grand Year is such a great way to support that and to invest in children growing up right here on the island. We’re really proud to sponsor it.”
Fundraising
Funds raised through A Grand Year can help cover:
- A year’s worth of supervised play sessions for a child with nowhere safe to go after school
- Evening meals for families struggling to make ends meet
- Educational support for children missing out on school
- Creative tools for children to express themselves
- Materials for building, exploring and discovering through child-led adventure play
Anyone interested in taking part in ‘Grand Year’ can request a fundraising pack by emailing kim@isleofplay.im or messaging Isle of Play directly via their social media channels.
