Christmas came early for a large number of charities, when Ramsey-based AFD Software gave away £250,000 on its annual charity night.
Company directors David and Alison Dorricott divided the money between 50 organisations, some local, some national and some international.

He says it enables them to worry less about raising funds, and get on with the jobs they should be doing (listen to audio file below):
