Manx Telecom has announced a donation of 25 £20 mobile phone top-ups to Victim Support Isle of Man, providing essential communication support for the charity's service users.

The donation will enable Victim Support to distribute mobile credit to individuals who have been affected by crime and may be experiencing financial hardship. Access to reliable communication is often crucial for victims of crime, allowing them to stay connected with support services, family members, and emergency services when needed.

Victim Support Isle of Man provides free and confidential support to anyone affected by crime, regardless of whether the crime has been reported to police. The charity's services include emotional support, practical assistance, and advocacy for victims of crime and their families.

Gary Lamb, CEO of Manx Telecom, said: “By providing these mobile top-ups to Victim Support, we hope to remove one barrier that might prevent someone from accessing the help and support they need during a difficult time. We recognise that staying connected is more than just convenience, but a lifeline for many people in our community.”

Lorna Trevethan, CEO of Victim Support Isle of Man, said: “This generous donation will make a real difference to the people we support. Communication is vital for victims of crime and their families, and we're very grateful to Manx Telecom for their ongoing support.”
