Cadets on mission to help homelessness charity

Police cadets on Island will take on a challenge next month for a local charity which helps the homeless.

Members of the IOM Police Youth Scheme are going to 'go homeless' on the streets of Douglas for one night on Saturday, May 29, raising money for Graih which supports those who are homeless or living in unsecure accommodation.

During the day, they'll also be doing a cycling and walking challenge in the Strand Shopping Centre aiming to cover over 250 miles for the cause.

Those behind the youth scheme add they're giving people the chance to sponsor someone from their work, school or even an MHK to take on the mission with them - all proceeds raised from the event are going to the charity.

Anyone wanting to donate or sponsor someone to take part can do so by contacting iompoliceyouthscheme@gmail.com or by visiting the JustGiving page.
