Mhelliah

Hospice Isle of Man has received a cheque for almost £11,494 from the Railway Inn in Union Mills. The money was raised during a mhelliah held late last year.

CEO John Knight and Head of Income Generation, Vanessa Smith, went down to the Railway to meet with Tony, his wife Karen and Chloe from the head office, to do a cheque presentation to say a massive thank you to everyone involved and to hear about the event.
