'We're a lifeline to them', says charity
Charities on the Isle of Man say the findings of a recent Social Attitudes Survey reflect some of the struggles they are working to address.
The survey, released earlier this month, highlights concerns about the standard of living on the Island.

The survey also found 13 percent of respondents went without heat, while 6.7 percent didn't get a cooked meal each day.
