Charity's high street presence to remain amid cuts and redundancies

Hospice Isle of Man says its currently relying on fundraisers to bring in £5.7 million each year.

The charity has announced service cuts and redundancies as it battles 'increasingly unsustainable' financial difficulties. 

It's calling for more government funding; Manx Care has taken on some of its services and a review of commissioning arrangements is underway.

Whilst there are changes within the organisation, Hospice CEO Fiona Hatton says the charity's presence on the high street will stay as it is:  

Hospice Isle of Man has nine stores around the Island, in Castletown, Douglas, Port Erin, Peel, Onchan, and Ramsey.
