Local business donates £6,000 to charity

A local business has raised £6,000 by selling commemorative brooches, which will be split between 20 charities. 

Element Isle designed and created the brooch as a gift to Queen Elizabeth II for her Platinum Jubilee, and has now sold replicas to the public. 

After selling out within an hour, entire proceeds will now go to the charities (excluding VAT), coming to £300 each. 

The list of charities receiving donations includes Craig's Heartstrong Foundation, Cruse Bereavement Care and Isle of Man Foodbank.
