Charities get banking industry boost

Two local charities have benefited from the generosity of the Island’s banking industry and their clients.

At a recent dinner, a charity raffle saw money raised divided equally between two chosen charities - The Wooden Spoon and the Island's Underwater Search and Recovery Team. 

A total of £3,270 was raised to be divided between the two causes.

The Wooden Spoon aims to positively transform the lives of children and young people with disability  in their lives. 

The Isle of Man Underwater Search and Recovery team is a charity whose volunteers can search, locate and recover anything or anyone that has been lost under the sea.
