75% of those needing support from group have been individuals
A group providing financial help to those facing poverty as a result of the coronavirus pandemic says it hopes it won't be needed in the near future.
The Manx Solidarity Fund was set up at the start of the outbreak to assist businesses, charities and individuals whose finances had been hit by Covid-19.
Around 75 per cent of those receiving support from the organisation are individuals - applications for funding can still be submitted.
Trustee Donna Crellin says the fund hopes to see demand slow soon:
