Local couple in backpack appeal

A local couple are collecting back packs and school equipment for children in need on the Isle of Man. 

Keith and Madina Sharpe are planning to provide the equipment to help families ahead of the new school term.

They are appealing for islanders to donate good quality or new bags filled with a selection contents such as notebooks, pencils, crayons and pencil cases. 

The bags can be dropped off at Motor Mall and will be handed on to families via the Isle of Man Foodbank.

The Sharpes said: "It makes such a big difference to so many children as they prepare for the new school year".
