Sight loss charity set to host 'blind date' fundraiser

The event is inspired by the TV show hosted by Cilla Black

A charity that provides support to the blind community is on the hunt for 'bold and charismatic' contestants to take part in a fundraiser.

Sight Matters is asking for singletons to sign up to a 'blind date' event, which will see those on stage rely on a series of questions to select a potential partner, who will be hidden behind a screen.

It's hoping to raise funds for their 'sunraiser' campaign as part of efforts to become more energy efficient.

Manx Radio's Christian Jones caught up with Peter Marshall from the charity, to see how the event will work:
