Group provides cheque and provisions to cause

Trust, fund, real estate and corporate services provider First Names Group has donated £350 to local charity Housing Matters.

Employees from the company also contributed food, toiletries and kitchen supplies to help people and families on the Island who are homeless or struggling to make ends meet.

Housing Matters was established in 2007 and was set up to provide advice, guidance and support to people in housing crisis.

The charity was chosen by First Names Group employees as the latest one they'd like to support for a month.

The 200 staff members in First Names Group's Douglas office used their monthly dress down collection to raise funds for and donate supplies to the charity.
