The chair of Live at Home says it's hoped the Manx charity can be 'restructured' as it looks to cease its services at the end of the month.

The organisation has helped residents on the Island live independently in their own homes for almost 27 years.

A letter to members says, due to financial reasons, services will stop on 28 August.

David Gawne MBE says the ability to raise funds has reduced since Covid, whilst demand on services has increased.

He told Manx Radio's Sian Cowper why the charity has announced this move now.
