The charity needs £5.5 million each year to continue – Manx Care provides £1.2 million, which is being upped to £1.5 million next year.
Chief executive John Knight says Hospice is under consistent financial pressure:
Seven acts promulgated in final Tynwald Day ceremony before election
Sharp rise in data breaches on Island, says Information Commissioner's Office
Footage circulating on social media 'now an active investigation'
Annual Tynwald Day celebrations to get underway
