IoM Foodbank "here to help, not judge"

Charity often busy after festive period

The Isle of Man Foodbank has issued a reminder to the Manx public that if you need help, you can self-refer to the organisation's services.

The festive period is a notoriously busy time for the foodbank, with many people finding themselves financially stretched - especially families with lots of mouths to feed.

This follows the news it received a record number of donations last year - partly due to an increase in contributions at local supermarkets leading up to the festive period.

In a post on social media, staff said "we are here to help, not judge."
