Charities set to benefit from football 'festive friendly'

FC IoM taking on Isle of Man Football Assocation

Two charities on the Island are set to benefit from a ‘festive friendly’.

FC Isle of Man will take on the Isle of Man Football Association on 18 December.

The match will take place at The Bowl at 7pm.

Tickets cost £3 for over 16s and are free for those under.

They’ll be raising money for Hospice Isle of Man and Isle Stand up to Suicide.

Community Fundraiser for Hospice IoM Sarah Watterson said: “We are truly appreciative to have been selected as one of the chosen charities by FC IoM for their upcoming friendly.

“Support such as theirs enables us to continue to deliver our services to the local community free of charge to patients and their loved ones, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, so thank you.

“FC IoM have consistently been great supporters of ours whether it’s through fundraising or volunteering and we look forward to seeing what else the partnership brings us in the future.”
