A crowdfunding page has been created with a £100,000 target for people whose homes were damaged in the flood.

Shelly-Anne Berry, who set up the page, said: ’We are a strong, beautiful nation and we must stick together and help those affected by the flooding in Laxey and other parts of our stunning island.

’If we all just give £2 we will hit our target. People have had cars, gardens and parts of their homes destroyed. Please donate and let’s help these people out.’
