Anagh Coar school’s fundraising efforts brought a welcome boost to Hospice Isle of Man’s Big Splash campaign, thanks to Lloyds Bank’s 'matched giving programme', which brought the total raised to £4,073. We can't thank you enough.

The Big Splash may have finished, but funds continue to boost the campaign, thanks to students from most of the island’s schools, along with students from University College Isle of Man (UCM) who, together, raised more than £38,000 in aid of Hospice Isle of Man
