Hospice Isle of Man and University College Isle of Man (UCM) is working together on a new internship opportunity.
The new internship will support the organisation and delivery of key fundraising events.
It will be available for UCM’s University students studying on the sport degree course each year, with the first internship being awarded to Aimee Dentith.
New Internship
During the one-day-a-week opportunity, the intern will be organising key sporting events in the aim of raising awareness and funds for Hospice.
Vanessa Smith, Head of Income Generation from Hospice said: “We are delighted to be working with UCM on this paid internship.
“Selecting a UCM degree student means that we’re not only supporting the development of local talent, but it also means we can raise vital funds through sporting events by utilising their event management skills.
“In recent years, Hospice has run some fantastic sporting events such as the Canaccord Cycling Sportive and Tour De Farms, which we’re looking to build on with the support from Aimee.”
Aimee added: “I’m really pleased to have joined Hospice on this internship.
“It’s fantastic to be able to get such interesting and purposeful work experience which will support my future career. It’s a real privilege to support the work Hospice do by raising vital funds through these events.
“I look forward to seeing lots of people getting involved in these events.”
