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:
Three-month wait for state pension forecast statements
OFT to investigate possible regulation of funeral directors
No timeline yet for reinstatement of rehab service to north
Venezuela Fury & Noah Price wedding "a true showcase of the breadth and quality of Manx services"
Manx Care TT ready despite 'exceptional' pressures faced last week
