A TEN-YEAR-OLD girl has been recognised for her “exceptional” fundraising efforts and “extraordinary” kindness by being nominated for the Child of the Year Award. Isla Aubert has been commended by her nominator for organising fundraising initiatives and challenges with “enthusiasm and positivity”.

Earlier this year, Isla independently came up with the idea for an event called Dancing in the Light of Love, a day of dancing, yoga and other activities, which raised around £2,000 for Jersey Hospice Care, in honour of her late grandad.

Her nominator said that Isla has turned her grief after losing her grandfather into something positive, by supporting a charity that is “close to her heart”.

“Her fundraising is about much more than raising money, it is about ensuring that patients and their families can continue to receive the specialist care, comfort and support that Jersey Hospice Care provides every day,” Isla’s nominator explained.

They went on to describe how she is deserving of this award due to the “genuine care” and “empathy” that she shows for others.

Her nominator added: “She has touched the hearts of many people and helped raise awareness of the hospice’s vital work. Isla is an outstanding young role model.”
