Manx Lottery Trust donates funds to tackle domestic abuse

Nearly £130,000 is being put forward to tackle domestic abuse on the Island.

The Manx Lottery Trust is awarding the funds to Victim Support.

It's part of the Manx Lottery Trust's 2018-19 Thematic Funding, and is gifting a total of £128,400.

This grant is to be used over three years and will fund a project worker over that time.

The appointment of which will be made in the next few weeks.
