Latest News: Disability Networks joins CIRCA

Local charities CIRCA and Disability Networks combine to ensure continuity of service

CIRCA Isle of Man and Disability Networks are delighted to announce that the two charities have combined.

CIRCA’s Charities Directory is a one-stop repository of information about Manx charities which helps individuals to identify and contact local charities quickly and easily to access available support in time of need. Led by new Centre Manager, Lisa Sims, the staff in the CIRCA Centre in Douglas are also on hand to answer questions; as well as continuing to provide their useful Shopmobility and Volunteer Placement services.

Disability Networks provides a wider directory of online local disability-related information to Manx residents and visitors alike. Former Disability Networks director, Beth Martin, continues to be involved as a CIRCA volunteer, ensuring the valuable information on the Disability Networks website and Facebook page is kept up to date.

The aim is that the combining of the resources of Disability Networks with CIRCA will further improve and streamline access to vital information for the people of the Isle of Man.
