IOM Samaritan volunteers to be based at Bushy's TT Village

Monday, 29 May 2023 08:54

Isle of Man Samaritans volunteers will be based at Bushy's TT Village this year to support the road racing community.

A team will be representing the charity and raising awareness of the 24/7 emotional support available.

Outreach Deputy Sinead Nudd says they'll be present for those who might need a quiet space to talk about how they're feeling, as sad and tragic events can unfortunately be a part of the TT.

They'll be based on the upper colonnade of the Villa Marina gardens between 4-8pm from June 1 to 10.
