Putting our communities first.
Charity
PlayItForward partners supported a wide range of local charitable organisations, with causes ranging from safer gambling, mental health to education and the local environment. This has included Live at Home, Firefighters Charity, Hospice Isle of Man, Huntington’s Disease Association, The Children’s Centre, Greenhills IOM and Marown Bowling Club.
The partner-led scheme not only supports charities with their work but also worthy causes and individuals in need of a helping hand.
PlayItForward’s support also extends to many national and international organisations. Over the last ten years, we have provided grants for good causes, sponsored, and provided extra pairs of hands at events, and contributed prizes for fundraisers. This has included donating Christmas gifts to over 425 vulnerable children since 2014 and more recently, providing financial assistance to global crises including Ukraine humanitarian relief and the Syrian earthquake appeal. In 2021 we also supported six Covid-19 charities, helping to raise funds for those affected by the pandemic in the Isle of Man, Malta, and Gibraltar.
Community
PlayItForward is active in all areas of the community, supporting local individuals, groups and events in all manner of ways and are never short of enthusiastic volunteers to help out on the big day for local events.
We also co-founded the Community Games event, and supported the PlayItForward Douglas Soapbox Race along with many more initiatives.
