A local charity has set up a 'hardship fund' to help elderly people on the Isle of Man.
Age Concern set up the fund earlier this year - with the aim to help those over 50 who may be struggling financially.
Steve Dawson - the charity's Community Project Co-ordinator says people are using it to pay energy bills, amid the cost of living crisis.
He says so far the charity hasn't helped many, but thinks that might change as the weather turns colder:
