HSBC AND SPORTING AND DINING CLUB RAISE THOUSANDS FOR LOCAL CHARITIES Mount Murray Douglas
The total amount raised for local charities through the Isle of Man Sporting and Dining Club has broken through the £30,000 barrier this year. At the event held in July, which featured mountaineering hero Joe Simpson as guest speaker, £620 was raised for Diana Princess of Wales Palliative Care, bringing the
overall total raised for local charities since the Club was established in 2006 to £30,295. This year alone, at the three dinners featuring the ‘Heroes of 1966’, Gulf War hero John Peters and Joe Simpson, a total of £2,885 has been raised so far, with the other charities
benefiting this year including the Royal British Legion and Manx Cancer Help. There have been 15 different local charities who have received proceeds from the dinners over the past five years, all nominated by HSBC, who continue to sponsor the Club’s quarterly dinners.
