The café helping new arrivals to the Isle of Man
Manx Newscast
Thursday, 8 January 2026 - 15 minutes
Among the topics expected to become key election issues this year, immigration has been highlighted.
On the Island there are hopes to see the population grow to 100,000 by 2037, while parties supporting tougher immigration measures have made ground in neighbouring jurisdictions.
Sylvie Géal-Wilkes works at Café Lingo in Douglas - a group which supports people who've made the move to the Isle of Man from all over the world.
In this edition of Newscast, Sylvie speaks to Lewis Foster about the work the organisation does, where the service users come from, and her thoughts on attitudes towards immigration.
