Welcome to our new board members

We are delighted to be strengthening our board so we can continue to deliver bereavement support.

Our new board members are:

  • John Whitehouse - Chief Operating Officer at Hansard Isle of Man
  • John Knight - Chief Executive of Hospice Isle of Man
  • Oriana Hills - Advisory Senior Manager at KPMG.

We were sad to say farewell to Joney Faragher MHK as a director. Joney worked for us as a Children and Young People Bereavement Specialist before joining the board in 2022 and we thank Joney for her contribution to the charity over the years.

Our chief executive, Mary Doyle, said, "I value having an engaged, strategic board which, I feel, is key to the success of our charity. We are delighted to welcome John, John and Oriana. The wide range of skills across our board will make a massive difference to our ongoing sustainability."

During 2024 we supported over 300 children, young people and adults through a range of one-to-one listening services and wider therapeutic support such as mindfulness, tapping and art therapy.
