IoM government donates £500,000 to Ukraine appeal

The Isle of Man government is donating £500,000 to the Disasters Emergency Committee’s Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal.

The money will go to charities already giving support to those escaping conflict in Ukraine and its neighbouring countries, as a result of the Russian invasion.

Minister for the Cabinet Office, Kate Lord-Brennan, says donating money, rather than supplies, allows organisations to source relief items locally, ensuring quality and quick delivery to those who need them.
