Charity reports spike in interest during third lockdown
The Manx Solidarity Fund says it has received a spike in interest following the introduction of a third lockdown.
The charity offers financial support to those who've lost income due to the pandemic and have 'fallen between the cracks' of government schemes.
Director Peter Washington says around two thirds of applications have come from individuals 'in desperate need'.
