Local charity receives grant to support more families

A local charity has received a grant of nearly £33,000 to allow it to extend its sessions and support more families. 

Singing Jo and Co offers free learning opportunities and musical fun for newborns up to 5 years old, structured around developing vocabulary, language, communication and social skills. 

The funding, from the Manx Lottery Trust, means the charity can offer sessions to more children.

Singing Jo and Co says it's mindful of the impact following the pandemic, and want to ensure classes address the effects on social interaction and language development skills.
