A Little Piece of Hope is hoping to help those at risk of having their gas disconnected after Christmas.

In November Isle of Man Energy revealed customers who had significant debt on their account would be cut off.

Thirty households have already been disconnected while a further 90 were planned to be.

However, former Office of Fair Trading chair John Wannenburgh stepped in requesting a pause - this was accepted.

Founder Helen Sheppard told Manx Radio the JustGiving page started after a family with a child with extra needs was disconnected.

So far they've raised £65.
