£31,000 raised for charity after 'vintage circus' night

More than £31,000 has been raised for Rebecca House Children’s Hospice on the Isle of Man following a circus themed gala dinner.

The chief executive of Hospice Isle of Man has described the fundraising effort as ‘significant’.

 A ‘Night of Vintage Circus’ was held at Woodbourne House on 20 June.

John Knight said: “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.”

The money will be used to continue providing care and support to children and young people who are affected by life-threatening or life-limiting conditions.
