Local charity, Hospice Isleof Man, is approaching a very busy period. There is their Light up a Life event which takes place on Sunday 6th December at 5.30pm followed by their Pause for a Moment event in Douglas town centre at 7pm.

There is a Christmas Fair on Sunday 22nd November at the Tynwald Mills marquee. This event starts at noon and runs through until 5pm. There will be lots of lovely stalls, entertainment and the man in the red suit has promised to come along!

Volunteers have also organised a Christmas Fair at the Hospice on Monday 7th December between 11am-3pm – with lots of lovely Christmas goodies!

They are also selling lots of fabulous Christmas merchandise this year. Why not call Sarah on 647432 who can drop off some of the lovely items?  There is a truly beautiful crystal Christmas tree decoration for Rebecca House - this is a first for the children's hospice.

Lovely Christmas cards are available at the Hospice or through all of their shops including their Warehouse (open from Wednesday through to Saturday 10am-4pm) and at their lovely boutique in Strand Street (open Monday to Saturday 10am-4pm).
