A local charity that helps those impacted by addiction has launched a new project for its clients this winter.

Motiv8 has been awarded a £2,500 grant from the Manx Lottery Trust towards its 'Winter Wellness Workshops.'

The sessions aim to create an inclusive environment for those who might feel isolated, and will provide a hot meal, workshop talks and crafting classes.

The charity strives to minimise the harm associated with alcohol, drugs, gambling and gaming problems across families on the Island.
