The Isle of Wight will Go Yellow for Mountbatten today (Friday).

A series of fundraising events are taking place, involving schools, businesses and councils.

Fundraisers, including teams at St Mary’s Hospital’s outpatients department, East Cowes Town Council, Pet Doctors and Eldridges Solicitors, will be wearing yellow.

Shanklin’s CatURpillars children’s group will be making paper sunflowers and serving yellow snacks and a host of primary schools will be among those marking the day.

Shanklin community library will display yellow books while Yarmouth WI is having a coffee morning On Sunday, between 2pm and 7pm, enjoy an over 18s day disco – all the fun, none of the late nights – at Strings Bar and Venue in Newport.

Book tickets through the event organiser, Sunday Skool

Enjoy some pampering while raising funds, with By Ells beauty and Canva 10 nails, both in Newport.

Meanwhile school cater, Chartwells, is donating 10p from each school meal sold on Friday.

All this week, Mountbatten Isle of Wight has been hosting free walking tours and encouraging visitors and staff to take part in our treadmill challenge, at the John Cheverton Centre off Halberry Lane in Newport.

Whether pounds or pennies, anything you raise during Go Yellow 2024 will help Mountbatten nurses and carers be there for Islanders.

Don't forget to use #GoYellow and to tag Mountbatten Isle of Wight on Facebook, Instagram and Threads with images of your yellow efforts today!
