Online fundraiser launched to save Guide and Scout hut

An online fundraising page has been set up to help reopen a Guide and Scout hut that's been forced to close.

Castletown Girlguiding and Scout hall shut earlier this month over safety concerns and needs urgent tiling, plastering, groundworks, joinery, electrical and fire alarm work.

Organisers say the closure will have a huge impact on a large number of children in the south of the Island and are appealing for help.

They've set up a JustGiving page to raise the £8,000 needed - you can find out more and donate here.
