Hyperbaric chamber gets big cash boost

There's good news for the Island's Hyperbaric Chamber - as it receives a £116,000 donation.

It comes following the facility being out of use since last year - with faults being discovered in both chambers in June 2018.

A new charity - named Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Isle of Man was set up to take over the chamber immediately -those behind it have been calling for support in raising vital funds for its cause.

The Dr Scholl Foundation has awarded the sum of more than £115,000 to help towards the purchase, commissioning, and installation of a new chamber.

The charity has now raised £228,000 but still needs to raise £470,000 before it meets its target.
