Volunteers from Barclays Isle of Man have taken part in providing secure water in Kenya for more than 1,000 people.

A team of 20 people linked up with Excellent Development Isle of Man to build a sand dam in the south-east of the country.

Barclay's Managing Director, Simon Scott, says those who took part were 'delighted' at the opportunity and has praised Excellent Development for their 'fantastic work'.

Each volunteer had raised £1,000 to fund constructing the dam by being part of various community fundraising events on the Island.
