Manx Community Assistance

We aim to enhance the quality of life for our island residents and support local talents and organisations. If you're part of a local charity, sports team, or community group and need support, we're here to help. Depending on your needs, be it travel assistance, charity vouchers, or sponsorship, we have different options to support you. Our tradition of supporting the local community spans over a century, and we're always excited to see new initiatives and ideas. So, if you are looking for support, please get in touch as we always look forward to making a positive impact on the Isle of Man.

Our supported sports scheme initiative helps athletes who compete beyond our island shores by providing essential support and discounted travel rates. Through this scheme, we've empowered many athletes to achieve their dreams and proudly represent the Isle of Man on a broader stage. To qualify for the scheme, applicants must complete six or more return trips from the Isle of Man to events in which they are competing within the calendar year.
