Last week, a gala dinner raised £31,531 for Rebecca House Children’s Hospice.
All money raised on the evening will go straight towards the children’s hospice in order to continue providing care and support to the children and young people of the Island who are affected by the complexities of life-threatening or life-limiting conditions.
The Gala on June 20 was held at Woodbourne House with over 140 people in attendance.

Attendees were entertained by a circus troupe from the UK, who performed some breath taking acts including a dagger throwing show which had guests hiding behind their napkins.
An auction was held on the evening to contribute towards the fundraising efforts, as well as raffles to win luxury prizes.
John Knight, Chief Executive of Hospice Isle of Man said, “The amount raised is very significant and we are truly grateful to all of those who attended and clearly had a great time.
“It is also important to us that new friendships were forged with both individuals who bought a ticket and then corporate organisations who get to learn a little about the care that Rebecca House provides.”
