    Charity asks public to take part in sponsored swim

    A local bereavement charity is asking the public to help them by taking part in a sponsored swim.

    'Cruse Bereavement Care' has supported locals for the last 35 years when they've experienced the loss of a loved one.

    The charity says although it doesn't charge its clients, the costs to deliver this type of care and support is around £600 per person. 

    In order to raise funds, the team have now organised a fundraising swim at the Western Swimming Pool in Peel.

    The charity is asking people to come together to swim a combined 10k (400 lengths) in the hopes to raise £10,000.

    It's all set to take place on Sunday, July 23 between 3-7pm.

    We spoke to the charity's Chief Executive Officer Mary Doyle:

    Entry is £10 for adults, and £5 for children - it's asked youngsters can swim 20 lengths comfortably.

    If interested, you can register by emailing fundraising@cruseisleofman.org
