Urgent appeal after Scout and Guide hut forced to close

Scouts and Guides in the south of the Island have made an urgent appeal for funds after their hall was forced to shut.

The Scout and Guiding hall on School Hill in Castletown has been shut with immediate effect until further notice because it urgently needs repair work to be safe.

Organisers are now asking for help to raise the money needed the get the work done, saying the closure will have a massive impact on children in the south.

On Facebook, they say they'd love to hear from individuals or businesses who could help.
