Charity's dress down-day with a difference

Charity highlights work done by carers

If you think there's something strange with the way your friend or work colleague has dressed today - it might not be a mistake.

Island charity Crossroads Care is asking the Manx public to wear an item of clothing, or an entire outfit, the wrong way round.

Inside Out Day is a dress-down day with a serious message: to highlight how the lives of people who become carers for relatives or friends, find their lives turned 'inside out'.

You can help the charity fund its work providing respite breaks for carers, by making a donation - or paying for the privilege of wearing your jeans, socks or dress the wrong way round!
