A local charity is asking people to donate, not dump, their old sofas, wardrobes and beds to help raise funds for the Island's elderly.
Age Concern Isle of Man has launched a new second-hand furniture shop in Douglas today.
The store, at 73 Circular Road, is run by volunteers and will be open from 10am to 4pm on Saturdays from tomorrow (April 16).
