Age Concern Isle of Man expecting to see demand increase from September
A charity which supports older people at times of need on the Isle of Man has warned that no voluntary organisation is ‘100 percent safe’.
Age Concern says it is acutely aware of the pressures facing charitable groups on the Island as costs and demand increase.
It follows the announcement that fellow charity Live at Home will be restructuring due to financial pressures.

Age Concern Isle of Man currently helps around 500 people.
Like other charities on the Island it says it too has seen a sharp rise in day-to-day running costs.
It's preparing for the influx of people who will need assistance during the winter months and believes that will start earlier this year.
