Over £1 Million to be Given Away to Charities

AFD Software Ltd is holding its annual postcode party and charity give-away this evening at the Mountain View Innovation Centre.

The company also known as the Postcode People is the world’s leading experts in British Postal Data.

All Postcode Data used in the UK, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands is first processed at Mountain View before distribution back to Royal Mail and its many customers. 

AFD are welcoming representatives of many of the 91 Charities supported this year – and who are receiving a share of £1.2million.  

Give Away

In addition, guests will get an update on AFD’s donation of a three-million-dollar Cessna Aircraft, which has now been manufactured, and recently completed an epic flight across the Pacific for final adaptation prior to service in Papua New Guinea.

Continuing AFD’s 2023 theme, this year’s event celebrates both the significant contribution of AFD’s products and services to the entire British Isles, but also the way that funds can make a massive difference in the Isle of Man, the UK and the Wider World.

Many nominations are based on very personal stories of help and support from the charity they nominate – and the AFD team take an active role in the smooth running of the evening in a variety of hospitality, administrative and practical tasks.

AFD’s 2024 donations enable international development and relief projects, support for education here and overseas, protection of the environment, and continuing investments in organisations fighting modern slavery and child exploitation. 

“Our Postcode Party aka Charity Night is the highlight of the year for me and for our wonderful team.” says group Director, Alison Dorricott.

“What we do day in and day out powers our economy and that of the Adjacent Island every single day but at our Charity Event, we can celebrate how much wider our business impact actually is – in the Isle of Man, the UK and across the world”.
