Island Life October/November 2018

Local Scene
Charity evening
at Nunwell House
Nunwell House, Brading, recently hosted an evening
raising money for the Rainbow Trust Children’s
Charity and Brading Community Partnership.
Many local businesses donated or supported the
event which included harp playing, an auction,
raffle and a one-man performance by Charles
Dickens’s great-great-grandson, Gerald Dickens.
The event was a great success, and it was
a lovely evening, not quite summer, but not
yet autumn. The guests enjoyed the house
as well as the beautiful gardens.
As well as raising vital funds, which totalled
over £3,000, to support families and youths on
the Isle of Wight, the event helped raise muchneeded
awareness of Rainbow Trust and Brading
Community Partnership’s work on the Island.
