Manx charities prompted to apply
One-hundred-and-fifty-thousand pounds will go to not-for-profit organisations with 'preventative' community projects - that's the offer from the Manx Lottery Trust.
This year Manx-based charities and thematic funding organisations applying for the money are asked to formulate plans to stop social problems reaching 'acute levels'.
Fifty-thousand pounds a year over a three-year period is available for research projects that carry on to apply methods informed by what works.
The organisation is a delegated partner of the Big Lottery Fund in the UK.
Member Malcolm Kelly says what kind of solutions it's looking for:-

Amendments to Assisted Dying Bill approved by Tynwald
Indoor play business makes 'very difficult decision' to close
No routine GP appointments Wednesday afternoon
Last chance to submit nominations for local authority by-elections
Rapid review into hospital provides 'clear direction' but there is 'no single solution', says minister
