The 19 successful groups are Isle of Play, Girlguiding Isle of Man, Isle of Man Scout Association, St Thomas’ Rainbows, Code Club, Southern Befrienders, Rushen Twirlers, Manx Children’s Art Therapy, Isle Stand up to Suicide, Manx Eating Disorders Support, Alzheimer’s Society, Sleeping Angel Woods, Friends of Robert Owen House, Motiv8 Addiction Services, Isle of Man Netball, Summit Grappling Academy, South Ramsey Bowling Club, Cheer Sport Isle of Man and Ramsey Community Hub.
Funding will go towards a wide range of initiatives, including new arts and crafts storage equipment, promotional banners, and a new phone to capture social content.
Gary Lamb, CEO of Manx Telecom, said: “The Marg McGee Community Awards are incredibly close to our hearts. They celebrate the passion, dedication and compassion shown by so many local organisations who work tirelessly to support our Island. We are proud to support more initiatives, and help these organisations continue to make a real difference in our communities.”
To mark the success of the 2025 funding programmes, Manx Telecom hosted an awards evening last night (27 January), bringing together organisations selected from both rounds of funding. In 2025, 182 applications were received across both funding rounds, and 37 organisations were supported with funding, fibre connectivity or hardware, representing a total investment of £20,000.
