A youth worker in Onchan has received the Crosh Pobble Chonnaghyn for his 17 years of volunteer service.
Martin Macfarlane says he is ‘honoured’ and ‘surprised’ to have been recognised for the award.
The accolade is given to a resident who does positive work for the community and is presented every two years.
Mr Macfarlane has been involved in the youth service since he was 18 years old and says it was his dad who introduced him to the role.
