Charities thank stalwart helpers
Those who give up their time freely to help the Island's charitable organisations are being recognised this week (27 Feb - 4 Mar) for their contributions to the local community.
Isle of Man Volunteers' Week is a celebration of the positive impact of helpers on Island life.
A series of events such as coffee mornings and outings have been laid on by various groups to show their gratitude for volunteers' work
