The Isle of Man Live at Home charity recently received a generous donation of ?3,000 from Thomas Miller Investment.

There are six Live At Home Schemes on the Island – Western, Northern, Onchan, Douglas, Laxey, Lonan, and Northern Men In Sheds. These schemes – which are all part of the UK-based MHA charity – provide support for around 600 older adults by offering a range of services, including organising social groups, lunch clubs, film club, one to one befriending, help with transport, and advice on accessing other support services.

The funds from Thomas Miller Investment will fund the charity’s efforts to provide a 'Christmas Experience' for older people, especially those who may not be able to be with family or friends during the festive period. The Christmas Experiences include lunches, parties, shopping trips, or presenting hampers and gifts. To find out more about Isle of Man Live At Home Schemes, phone 616571, email Isleofman.liveathome@mha.org.uk or find the charity on Facebook.
