Help Charlie Compete at the Island Games

Hi everyone!

I’m thrilled to share that I have been selected to represent the Isle of Wight in High Jump at the 2025 NatWest International Island Games in Orkney – my third time competing at this incredible event!

The Island Games, which started in 1985 on the Isle of Man, are often referred to as the "Small Islands Olympics." Since then, they’ve grown to include around 3,000 athletes from 24 different islands, competing across 14 sports over seven days. As a founding member of the Games, the Isle of Wight has proudly hosted the event twice – in 1993 and 2011.

What makes these Games so special is that they allow athletes from the Isle of Wight to compete for our island on the world stage, rather than as part of a larger nation like England or Great Britain. It's a unique opportunity for island athletes to showcase their talents and represent their community.

As with most athletes competing in the Island Games, I’m self-funding my trip, which is why I’m reaching out for your support. Any contribution towards my goal would mean the world to me and help cover travel, accommodation, and competition costs.

Thank you so much for reading and supporting me and let’s bring home a medal for the Isle of Wight!
