Hospice Calls For Clothes to Help Make Christmas Sparkle

Hospice Isle of Man is appealing for donations of party wear as it launches Sparkle for Christmas, a new sustainable fashion fundraiser at The Laxey Glen next month.

The event on October 29 will feature a runway show of pre‑loved festive fashion followed by a boutique market where guests can buy the curated pieces.

Hospice is seeking clean, good‑condition evening wear, occasion wear, shoes, handbags, jewellery and accessories to build the collection.

Vanessa Naude, Donor Engagement Executive, said the aim is to give unworn items “another life” while raising funds for Hospice care and reducing fashion waste.

Donations must be registered online by October 7 and delivered by October 9 to Hospice shops, the Hospice building at Nobles or the Hospice Superstore.

Hospice is also looking for volunteer models; those interested can email fundraising@hospice.org.im.

Tickets cost £30 and include fizz on arrival, the fashion show and access to the boutique market.
