Island Games organising committee

The Guernsey 2023 Island Games organising committee has been nominated for the Sports Volunteer award, which is sponsored by Sure.

This summer’s Island Games were a great success and the volunteers behind it have been nominated for all the work they put in to make it happen.  

One nominator said how the Games were a ‘wonderful, uplifting and fulfilling occasion put together with pure dedication and love’. 

The organising committee was led by Dame Mary Perkins, who received praise from nominators for ‘all her great planning and hard work organising Guernsey’s Island Games’. 

Another part of the organising committee that was mentioned was the sports management team. ‘[They] worked with grit, determination and humour throughout the whole four years of planning.’  

‘They worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the smooth and effective delivery of the sports element of the Games.’ 

‘During Games week itself they were working far more hours than a standard full-time job.  

‘Was it the best Games ever? We think so!’
