An energy provider in Jersey is giving local charities and community groups the chance to switch to solar power for free.

Sunworks, based in St Helier, said it had launched its Solar Giveaway to provide an installation worth £10,000 to one charity or community group.

Ben Spencer-Newman, surveyor at Sunworks, said the company wanted to make a "meaningful difference" to a local group and decided to set up the giveaway to hear from people who might be interested.

The company said the deadline for applications was 30 June and any interested parties should visit its website for more information.

Mr Spencer-Newman added: "We found identifying the right project quite difficult, so we thought 'why don't we open it up to the public?'."
