The Isle of Man Young Farmers have presented donations of more than £8,000 to two local charities.

Hospice Isle of Man and Craig’s Heartstrong Foundation were the chosen benefactors from last year’s Tractor Run, which raised over £16,000.

Vanessa Smith from Hospice and Paul Healey from Craig’s Heartstrong were on hand to judge the opening night of the Young Farmers’ Concert and to go on stage to receive their cheques.

The Young Farmers said: ‘Both these wonderful charities are the benefactors from the 2023 Christmas Tractor Run and we were proud to present each charity with £8,031.47, that’s over £16,000 raised!!! ?

‘A huge thank you to all who supported the event ? We are delighted to be able to assist these charities with providing their invaluable service to our Islands community.’

The 2024 Young Farmers Concerts continue tonight and tomorrow, if you’re lucky you may be able to grab a ticket from the Villa Box Office or by going to the Isle of Man Young Farmers Facebook page.
