Boost for single parent families

A support group for single parent families is set to enjoy a higher profile and keep its ‘younger members’ entertained after it received a Celton Manx Recognition award.

Manx Gingerbread Friendship Group is one of 22 local good causes to benefit in 2016 from the award scheme aimed at those charities and not-for-profit organisations with only limited resources for promoting and developing their services.

The group’s coordinator Carrie Yates says they're grateful to Celton Manx for their support and added that it was a tremendous boost for their small but growing group of single mums and their children.

Manx Gingerbread Friendship Group meets at St Ninian’s Church on Sundays from 2 to 4pm.
