A CHARITY that works with young people on the Isle of Wight has received a cash boost from this year's memorial ploughing match.

The event raised an incredible £1,700 for Challenge and Adventure.

Fundraising and events manager Karen Eeles thanked organisers for involving the charity in such a 'wonderful opportunity.'

The money was raised through cake sales, donations and a raffle, and will go towards funding the charity's extra running costs, such as waterproof clothing and minibus maintenance.
