Online business directory MiQuando and Salt Bar and Kitchen have joined forces to support Manx Cancer Help’s Mann Up for November fundraising campaign.
Throughout the month, Salt in Circular Road, Douflas, and MiQuando will donate £1 each to the charity for every noodle or rice lunchtime special booked via MiQuando.com.
The money will go towards supporting Manx Cancer Help’s work in the Isle of Man. Established in 1983, the charity provides specialist psychological therapies for people with cancer and their loved ones. It offers a series of free, confidential sessions, both face-to-face and over the phone, to anyone affected by cancer.
This month’s campaign encourages men to grow their facial hair to raise funds through sponsorship, as well as to raise awareness of cancers affecting men.
Dawn Herbert, manager at Salt, said: ‘Manx Cancer Help is doing important work in the island, and we were keen to support the November campaign. We decided this was the best way to help raise money. We discussed the idea with the guys at MiQuando and they were quick to lend their support and match our donations pound-for-pound.
‘Hopefully lots of people will get involved, especially as using MiQuando makes booking really simple. You just visit the site, choose you date and time and make the booking, it’s easy.’
Nigel Jones from MiQuando added: ‘We’ve been providing online booking services for Salt for some time now, and have supported previous charity events, so we were really pleased to get involved with this campaign.
‘We think this will be a great way of raising money for Manx Cancer Help, which does such tremendous work in the island.
‘I’m sure Mann Up for November will be a huge success.’
