Rising costs make Strand Street store 'unsustainable'
Manx charity Sight Matters has announced it will be closing its shop on Strand Street in Douglas.
The store has been on the high street for nine years and the doors will close for the final time on Saturday, 21 December.
The charity, which supports more than 700 people with serious sight loss on the Island says, despite best efforts, rising costs of running the store mean it is no longer sustainable to continue its operation.
Sight Matters has thanked everyone who's supported the site over the years, and says it will continue to explore other opportunities to fundraise and engage with the community, ensuring that our services remain accessible to those who need them most.
