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:
Increase in scarlet fever on the Island
Government 'neglecting' heritage assets across the Island
Motiv8: 'We will never reach all the children on the Isle of Man'
House of Keys question paper dominated by one MHK
Onchan Commissioners to undertake 'accessibility' review of park equipment
