Cowes Fringe raised £5,000 for Mountbatten following the festival and gala at Commodore’s House last month.
The cheque was presented by Cowes Fringe Founder, Sara Blackwell, who said: “I’m absolutely overwhelmed and thrilled to present the cheque. In just our third year, it means so much to the entire team to be able to contribute to a charity so vital to our Island community.
“Mountbatten’s compassionate work touches so many of our lives, and we’re incredibly proud to support their mission.”
Nigel Hartley, CEO of Mountbatten Isle of Wight, added: “Mountbatten is hugely grateful to the organisers of Cowes Fringe for their incredible donation – one that will help us continue to deliver vital end-of-life care 24/7, in homes, in hospital, and in our inpatient unit.
“We hope the eclectic acts and the Fringe-goers had as enjoyable a time as we did. Thank you for your support. In challenging times, it means so much to us and the Islanders we care for.”
