Funding offers security to institution
Government has agreed to fund a local charity on the brink of collapse.
The Family Library issued an urgent plea for financial help earlier this year, with claims the £250,000-per-year running costs were not being met by donors and corporate sponsors.
As a result, its schools scheme, mobile and family libraries were said to be in jeopardy.
Last month e-Gaming magnates the Scheinberg family promised to match any donations up to £125,000.
In the House of Keys this morning, Treasury Minister Alf Cannan confirmed government would be pledging support:
Health minister to give statement on Hospice funding
Majority of people on IOM not satisfied with travel options
Gandeys Circus cancels Sunday shows due to high winds
Final round of bus strike action gets underway
Hospice redundancies decision "tough to make but the right thing to do", says CEO
