Church receives funding to make car park more accessible

It's hoped the project will benefit those who have difficulties with mobility

A church will be able to make its car park safer and more accessible after receiving funding from the Manx Lottery Trust.

Sulby Methodist Church has been awarded £17,500 to pave and improve the safety of its accessible parking area, particularly to help those with mobility, sight or balance difficulties.

It's hoped the work will reduce the risk of trips and falls, as well as making visiting the church easier for those who rely on wheelchairs or walking aids.

The trust's Community Awards Programme aims to support charities and community groups on the Island deliver projects that improve quality of life, inclusion and have a positive impact.
