The Barclays Private Bank Award for Community Initiative of the Year

Transcript

00:00How does it feel?

00:02We're in absolute shock, to be honest with you.

00:04We really, really didn't think we would win this.

00:07We were up against such strong opposition.

00:10Is it something, when you get nominated,

00:11is it important anyway to get nominated?

00:13Is it a big thing?

00:14Yeah, it's an absolute honour to be finalists, you know.

00:18It really is.

00:20But it means the world to us.

00:22As a charity, we're cancer patients anyway,

00:26and we're all volunteers,

00:28and we've raised this money as volunteers,

00:32and we've built a centre which everyone will get the benefit from.

00:38It wasn't there when we were patients.

00:41We didn't have that benefit of being able to be helped,

00:44and we hope it will help everyone out there.

00:47And we thank every single one of our committee members

00:50who've helped us along the way.

00:51I'm sorry, I'm really emotional.

00:52Yeah, of course, and honestly, that is lovely to hear.

00:55Can I just quickly ask, as Barclays,

00:58how important is it to recognise and sponsor in awards like this?

01:01Oh, it's massive.

01:02I think, you know, the Isle of Man is synonymous with a phenomenal community,

01:07and for us to be able to play our role in supporting amazing charities like this,

01:11it's a privilege, honestly.
