Trainee police officers raise over £3,000 for Victim Support in charity walk

Three police teams surpass fundraising target after walking from Ramsey, Peel and Castletown 

A group of trainee police officers have raised more than £3,000 for Victim Support Isle of Man after completing a cross-Island charity walk on Saturday.

Three teams set off from Ramsey, Peel, and Castletown police stations, walking a combined total of around 45 miles to reach the finish line together at Police Headquarters in Douglas.

Despite being soaked by typically wet Manx weather, the officers arrived smiling - having smashed their original fundraising target of £2,000.

Trainee constables Jessica Blaymire and Daniel Young previously told Manx Radio they chose Victim Support Isle of Man for the support it offers to those rebuilding their lives after being affected by crime.
