The island’s largest independent financial advisory and insurance broking group has raised £7,000 for charities across the Isle of Man throughout 2024.
MAC Group has donated funds to Isle of Man Samaritans and Sight Matters, the company’s two chosen charities of the year.
The money was raised through a variety of activities, including dress-down days, a charity golf day, raffles, and cake sales.
The MAC group say the significant figure raised demonstrates the power of coming together to raise funds for meaningful causes.
