IoM foodbank launches Xmas campaign

The Island's foodbank has launched its annual reverse advent calendar campaign.

The charity, which distributes food parcels to those in need, is asking for donations to help the appeal.

It says it would particularly like people to donate items such as selection boxes, mince pies and other children's treats as well as staple foods.

To take part in the campaign, you can donate at collection points around the Island until December 14.
