Manx charity wins award

Sun, 02 Jun 2019

A Manx charity has been honoured with the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS).

The award is the highest given to volunteer groups in the UK and Crown Dependencies.

Manx Breast Cancer Support Group has been recognised for raising more than £2.8 million to improve the experience of patients in the Isle of Man since 2012.

The group is one of 281 volunteer-led groups to receive the award this year.

Manx Breast Cancer Support Group will receive their award from the Lieutenant Governor at an event in their honour at Government House later in the year.
