Culture Vannin expands team ahead of Year of the Manx Language

Tiffany Kerruish will serve as part-time coordinator

Culture Vannin has added a new member to its team to help develop and promote the upcoming 'Year of the Manx Language' - or 'Blein ny Gaelgey'.

The Year is being organised by the Manx Language Network, Jeebin, a network of people working for the language.

Tiffany Kerruish will serve as part-time coordinator, helping to shape and deliver events for the charity which are being supported by the Domestic Event Fund.

She says: "We already have some exciting events in the calendar, and we are hearing of new ideas all of the time. 

"The Year is community-driven which means that we’d love you to find a way to include some Manx in an event and become part of the story – whether as an individual, community group or a business, there are so many ways to come on-board with this year-long celebration of Manx."

Dr Breesha Maddrell, Director of Culture Vannin, added: "It’s absolutely wonderful to have such an amazing communicator as Tiffany join the team for our special year throughout 2026. 

"As a Manx learner and musician, she knows how much fun getting involved can be, and she will be a brilliant ambassador for the Year and the Island!"
