The island’s Foodbank has received a welcome boost from Onchan Youth Club.

Members collected a range of tinned and packet food to donate throughout January.

It saw the youngsters enjoy joint shopping trips to choose the food items.

In total they collected some 75 items of food which they presented to Jane Foxon on behalf of the charity.

Jane thanked the youth club for its support.
