Arts Aid 2025 – a collaboration between Platform One College and Wessex Cancer Support – will return on Friday 9th May, at GG’s Restaurant and Bar.
The evening will feature live music composed and performed by Platform One students, the Arts Aid 2025 album launch, token casino tables, a raffle with some incredible prizes, with more to be announced.
All proceeds will benefit Wessex Cancer Support, which helps Islanders affected by cancer.
As part of their final project, year 02 BTEC students studying Music at Platform One are putting their efforts into every aspect of the evening, including decorations, lighting, marketing, sourcing raffle prizes, and backstage logistics.
This marks a significant milestone in their educational journey as they prepare to graduate and pursue further studies.
Annabella Brown – a Platform One student – says:
“Wessex Cancer Support offers personalised emotional and wellbeing assistance for Islanders impacted by cancer. They have a Support Centre located on Lugley Street in Newport, as well as a Daisy Bus service to transport Islanders to appointments at mainland hospitals.
“We are thrilled to raise as much as we can to support the charity while hosting a fantastic night for the community and completing our final assignment for our BTEC course.”
