Need a friend? Southern befrienders wants to help!

A charity based in the South of the Island wants to expand the range of people it can support during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Southern Befrienders is known for its work in assisting the elderly and vulnerable to keep them from being isolated, but now says during the outbreak it will do its best to help whoever needs its services.

The organisation says whether you want support for yourself or a relative or friend you now can't reach because of self-isolation,  they want to hear from you.

The charity serves the Port Erin, Port St Mary, Castletown, Colby and Ballasalla areas - you can get in touch on 833 025.
