As an ongoing sponsor of WindReach, we are glad to lend a hand to such a tremendous cause. We hope that our work will inspire others to get involved financially or volunteer their time to WindReach or one of the other organisations or charities on the Island.”WindReach was founded on the principle of enriching the quality of life for people with special needs.
