Demand rocketing for charity's help
Increased demand for the Isle of Man Foodbank has prompted a move to a bigger premises.
The charity is opening new headquarters, adjacent to the Isle of Man Creameries plant at Ballafletcher, on Monday (21 May).
Local companies, including supermarkets and couriers, are helping with the transition.
More and more residents have turned to the Foodbank for help since it was established in 2013, with demand nearly doubling every year.
Volunteers expect the number of handouts this year to run into the thousands.
Foodbank director is Neal Mellon:
Some sheltered housing residents to pay £61 a week for gas from 2025
Lack of progress on doctors' pay deal 'very frustrating'
Specialised equipment used to free passenger from wreckage
Hefty bill for uninsured motorist who hit stationary vehicle
