The Tower of Refuge is turning red this week for International Red Cross Week (May 8 to 14).
And residents are being encouraged to show their support for the charity by taking part in a Dress Red Day on Friday, in return for a £1 donation.
Natalie Radford, chairman of the island branch’s fundraising committee, said: ‘We were overwhelmed by the support we received last time we organised a Dress Red Day, and we are hoping that we can generate the same support this year.’
Money raised will be used to fund the range of services the charity provides.
Last year saw the Isle of Man Red Cross transport about 9,800 people from their homes to Noble’s Hospital clinics.
And they supported the ambulance service with non-urgent transfers.
Some 220 wheelchairs were loaned free of charge in 2015, a 13 per cent increase on the previous year.
They also provide a range of training including first aid in the workplace and fire marshals.
And the Red Cross supports services including Meals on Wheels, care in the home, therapeutic care and event first aid.
