The deadline is approaching to apply for Manx Lottery Trust's 2021 Community Awards Thematic Funding.

This year the trustees are focusing on 'bridging the digital divide', and will support schemes and local communities and organisations build digital skills and confidence.

Chairman of Manx Lottery Trust - Sarah Kelly - says those at risk of loneliness and social isolation because of age, health, disability and income are at risk of digital exclusion, so this is an important theme.

There is a total of £150,000 to be awarded, and applications must be submitted by Friday September 10.
