Manx Lottery Trust has received £6 million in funding to continue helping local initiatives in the long term.

The organisation will, as a result, be able to grant £600,000 a year to Manx causes over the next ten years through its Community Awards Programme.

Launched in 2015, it aims to improve local communities and the lives of people most in need by distributing grants - with 153 Isle of Man projects supported so far.
