Street collection to raise funds for DEC Coronavirus appeal

A street collection will take place this weekend to raise funds for those hardest-hit by Coronavirus.

The One World Centre has organised the event to raise funds for the DEC Coronavirus Appeal.

People will be taking to the streets in Douglas, Ramsey, Peel, Castletown and Port Erin between 10am and 5pm on Saturday.

The Appeal aims to help the most vulnerable communities in the world as they face coronavirus on top of many other crises. 

This includes people in Yemen, Syria, South Sudan, Somalia and the Rohingya refugee camps.

Organisers are still looking for more volunteers to help with the collection - anyone who can give an hour or so to help can contact Wendy Shimmin on 800464.
