Hospice Isle of Man depends upon the donations to provide a very broad
range care and services - not only in the Hospice but also in the community
and patients' homes. The team is made up of a large number of health
professionals, staff and volunteers who provide the highest standard of
care 365 days a year.

The Hospice Isle of Man must raise £3m in donations each year towards
operational costs. Although the DHSS provides £500,000 in funding annually,
the Hospice relies on private donations to redress the balance.
