Gold campaign boosts charity

A campaign to donate unwanted and scrap gold has raised more than £2,000 for a Jersey children's charity.

The month-long Pot of Gold campaign at Jersey Goldsmiths raised £2,023 for Variety.

All the unwanted precious metal was melted down and in total made 856 grams of gold.

So far this year, Variety has raised nearly £13,000, thanks to the sale of gold hearts and the Pot of Gold campaign.

Variety's Chief Barker, Robyn Lapidus, said he hoped the charity would continue to raise much-needed funds for under-privileged children in Jersey.
