Manx Telecom has announced the launch of the 2023 It’s Our Community small grant scheme which is aimed at helping local charities, voluntary organisations and good causes to continue making a positive difference in the society.
This year will mark the 15th round of grants since the scheme was established. During that time over 175 initiatives have been helped to provide a huge variety of vital community services as well as social, sporting and cultural outlets for all ages and abilities.
It’s Our Community grants range from £100 to £1000 and one of the first to be given out was to help with the refurbishment of Laxey Working Men’s Institute.
More recently Port Erin’s Men in Sheds project has been a beneficiary with a grant that allowed them to buy more equipment for their workshop which is used by men who may have retired, been bereaved or who might otherwise feel isolated.
Manx Telecom CEO Gary Lamb said: “I’ve had the pleasure of being involved with It’s Our Community for over 15 years and it is always very humbling to read about all the amazing initiatives taking place.
“In the current economic climate, fundraising can be very challenging and we hope that our grants will help out many good causes in these difficult times.”
Applications for It’s Our Community can be made online by visiting manxtelecom.com/ioc and any Manx-based voluntary or charitable group can apply.
The closing date for applications is November 17.
