Island telecoms company launches community foundation

Manx charities to be supported through resource

Island telecoms company Sure has launched a community foundation to support local charities during the coronavirus pandemic.

It's being funded by a combination of staff and business donations, and Sure's employees are managing all of the fundraising activities.

Since the start of the Covid-19 outbreak Sure has invested £20,000 into the foundation and says it will match any contributions made by staff or other fundraising.

So far the resource has donated £500 to the Isle of Man Foodbank and hopes to support a number of different charities.
