Manx Breast Cancer Support Group and Mannin Cancers reach £10.2m
A group of Manx charities has reached a fundraising milestone, celebrating raising £10.2 million in 12 years.
The Manx Breast Cancer Support Group, which was established in 2012, and their sibling charity Mannin Cancers which started in 2019, are entirely run by volunteers.
Their fundraising has led to the purchasing of hospital equipment, the development of the Manx Breast Unit and also the building of the Macmillan Support Centre, which is due to open in the early summer.
Julie Stokes is the chair and a trustee of both Manx Breast Cancer Support Group and Mannin Cancers and says: "We have a great team of volunteers and we cannot thank them enough.
"We’d also like to thank the great Manx public, trusts and businesses for all the support they give us.
"We hold around 18 fundraising events each year and each and every one of them is so well supported, thank you."
