£25k Zurich pledge to Manx charities

Zurich International has pledged £25,000 to be donated to three Island causes.

The organisation is giving £12,500 to Alzheimer's Society Isle of Man; £7,500 to Rebecca House and £5,000 to Live at Home.

Alzheimer's Society plans to use the cash to provide information, services and support, whilst Rebecca House will use its money to train staff in a type of therapy to help children with neurological conditions like cerebral palsy.

Meanwhile, Live At Home will use the financial boost to help continue its work to help tackle social isolation and loneliness.
