The charity needs £5.5 million each year to continue – Manx Care provides £1.2 million, which is being upped to £1.5 million next year.
Chief executive John Knight says Hospice is under consistent financial pressure:
Campaigner urges Island to pilot recreational cannabis scheme
Funding model 'constraining' ability to tackle heritage 'critical maintenance backlog'
Ramsey Commissioners appeal for help after fly tipping incident
Pothole claims cost department thousands
Increase in scarlet fever on the Island
