The Sunset Island Festival

Registered Charity No 1018

The Isle of Woman Team have moved forward in a new direction with the Sunset Island festival. This is to enable them to keep the money raised by us all on the Island this year and in years to come.

Money raised on the Island by the islanders to help the people of the Isle of Man.
So, Isle of Man, it’s all for you now – to benefit local charities.

CELEBRITY astrologer Russell Grant has agreed to be the Patron of the Sunset Island festival which this year is raising money for hospice.
The TV personality, who recently moved to Douglas with his partner Doug Beaumont is keen to become part of the community and is looking forward to being involved in the exciting events planned.

"Belonging to a sharing, caring community means so much to me. It would be so nice if people, whether well-known or not, can find the time to donate some special skill or talent to benefit those who can't help themselves. You only get out of life what you put into it and this is even more starkly relevant in an island community where everyone knows one another. As an Aquarian it has always been important to me to devote as much as I can to work with others to make where I live a better place specially for those who aren't as lucky as me. I am thrilled to be asked to be Patron of the Sunset Island Festival as it will enable me to join forces with livewires of a like mind to raise awareness and funds for local charities and good causes - and to have fun, laughter and make new friends doing it!"

We raised £55,000 last year in a long weekend and we couldn’t have done it without your help and support - please join us again!

The local charity chosen to benefit this year is the Isle Of Man Hospice. The money raised will pay for a lymphoedema nurse's salary for a year and also general running costs in Hospice for a year. The focus of the charity is on breast cancer, however the Hospice Lymphoedema service currently provides  specialised treatment for all secondary lymphoedema patients i.e lymphoedema occurrung anywhere in the body due to cancer or its treatments. None of us know when we may need their help
for ourselves or our families. For more information about Lymphoedema please see
