Coal fund announces first distribution date

The oldest registered charity on the Isle of Man will start giving out fuel vouchers next week.

Douglas Coal Fund, which helps the Island's worst-off afford heating in the winter months, says its first distribution of the year will be on Tuesday, November 17.

If you're attending All Saints Hall on Alexander Drive in Douglas in person, you'll need your completed form and proof of income as well as a recent oil, gas or power bill.

And the organisation says if you've already applied by post, vouchers will be posted that day.
