Royal London 360° has presented a cheque for ?1,643 to Autism in Mann.
The Isle of Man registered charity was chosen as the beneficiary of RL360°’s 2012 Christmas raffle, which has gone down as the most successful in the company’s history.
RL360°’s Steve Wright, pictured with colleague and fellow raffle organiser Natalie Challenor (right), said: ‘This is the most money we have ever raised at the Christmas raffle.
‘To raise more than ?1,600 is a great achievement. We must also thank the local businesses who helped support the raffle by generously donating prizes.
‘We are thrilled to be able to hand the amount over to Autism in Mann, a worthy recipient.’
Autism in Mann Chairman Susan Corlett, also pictured, said the money would be used to fund ongoing projects.
‘We do swimming sessions and coffee mornings,’ she explained. ‘We have recently installed a ceiling hoist at Project 21 and a library and kitchen at the user-led cafe at Nunnery Howe.
‘The money will be well spent for the benefit of autistic people and their families in the Isle of Man.’
