An Island Rotary Club has donated important funds to two key Island charities.

The Rotary Club of Rushen and Western Mann has given £2,000 to be split between Isle of Man Foodbank's Southern Hub and Hospice Isle of Man.

Judy Matthews, from Southern Foodbank, says they're extremely grateful for the assistance whilst they currently support 27 families in the South of the Island.

Meanwhile, Hospice Chief Executive, Anne Mills, adds this 'compassionate gesture' will help them in their efforts to continue supporting local residents.
