Chamber event raises funds for mental health project

An event from the Island's Chamber of Commerce has raised nearly £2,000 for a Manx mental health initiative.

The organisation generated £1,700 at its gala dinner which will be going to Isle Listen - a charitable project aimed at supporting mental wellbeing.

Isle Listen is Chambers chosen charity for the next two years - CEO, Rebecca George, is thanking all the guests who attended the occasion for contributing to the cause.

Gareth Nicholson, from the charitable group, says the money will allow them to provide one listener to go into partnering schools for a month and provide the training and supervision to support them.
