History of treasured facility in print
A new book out today charts the extraordinary history of the Island's hospice.
The book's appearance has been timed to coincide with Hospice Care Week - a series of events to highlight the wide range of facilities offered at the Braddan facility, along with the work of its volunteers.
Our Island Hospice 1983 - 2016 has been penned by well-known local author Derek Winterbottom and features many photographs taken throughout the charity's development.
Derek says writing it was an eye-opener for him:
'Deterrent' sentence imposed for ketamine importer
Several sailings at risk or cancelled due to adverse weather
Glencrutchery Road to close to northbound traffic
MHK's shock over Hospice announcement
Sulby Straight closure in place this weekend
