PROCEEDS from a Family Fun Day at Noble’s Park, Douglas, will go to our Isle of Man Newspapers/Manx Diabetic Group campaign Pumps 4 Kids.
The event will be held on July 1, from noon until 5pm and admission is free.
With Women Worldwide is behind the event, which will see a variety of attractions and stalls on offer, including hook a duck, a coconut shy, a bouncy castle and roundabout, smash the plates, kiddies carts, music, a fire engine, beat the goalie, face painting and refreshments.
With Women Worldwide began three years ago and since then it has raised £10,000 for charities supporting women and children both in the island and further afield. This year the group decided to make Pumps 4 Kids the beneficiary of its efforts and recently donated a massive £3,500.
Money keeps on rolling in, such as the £935 raised by staff of the Castletown branch of the Isle of Man Bank, who knitted Easter egg covers and sold them for £2.50 each.
William Bowers from Glen Vine, who is diabetic, and his grandson Corben, carried out a bag pack at Ramsey Shoprite at the weekend and, with a couple of helpers, managed to raise £325 for Pumps 4 Kids.
