A new generation of budding photographers has had their views of Island life showcased in a special calendar for The Children's Centre.
Even Father Christmas was on hand at the launch of the 2010 Children’s Centre calendar, which has been sponsored by leading local insurers Tower Insurance.
The calendar features a collection of digital photographs taken by youngsters - some as young as 7 - over the summer holidays.
It’s the fourth year running that the project has been backed by Tower, whose Managing Director Peter Gallagher attended the calendar’s launch.
All proceeds will go towards The Children’s Centre.
"We have been long standing supporters of The Children’s Centre and given the outstanding quality of the pictures and the production involved, we are delighted once again to be associated with this very worthwhile project. The children who took these pictures should be very proud of themselves," said Mr Gallagher.
Marcie Dean, The Children’s Centre Fundraising Coordinator, said the calendar would be available to the general public from each of the charity’s family centres – Bonwick House Ramsey, Barrule House Ballasalla, The Philip Christian Centre Peel and from Woodbourne Road Douglas.
"We are very grateful to Tower Insurance for their continued sponsorship," she said.
"It is a project that the children are very enthusiastic about and it gives them a real sense of achievement when it comes into production," she said.
