The Manx Lottery Trust has awarded £12k to a charity helping to reintegrate young ex-offenders back into society.
The grant has allowed the Isle of Man Youth Motor Project to launch a 25 week programme.
It involves mentoring sessions and providing access to emotional support.
The aim of the scheme is to give people coping strategies to help them integrate back into the local community.
Chairman of the Manx Lottery Trust, Sarah Kelly, says the work the charity is doing is really important and they're pleased to support their efforts.
