Charities grateful and seeking more support
It's the start of the annual Manx Volunteers Week (Mon).
The 5-day event is supported by over twenty Island-based charities, whose efforts rely on unpaid work.
The week will culminate in a major recruitment fair at Tynwald Mills this Saturday (5th Mar).
Alison Lester from the Volunteer Organising Committee explained what it's all about:
