Thursday, 20 October 2022 06:46

A local business has raised £11,000 for Victim Support IOM at its first Charity Golf Day.

Amber Gaming held the event last month at Ramsey Golf Club, and raised funds through donations, raffle tickets and entry fees.

72 players took part on the day, with Mayfly Entertainment Limited taking home the winner's trophy.

Director at the charity, Dee Copley, says they rely on donations to fund a large proportion of their running costs, so this money will allow them to continue supporting those affected by domestic abuse on Island.
