A Light in Our Life Memorial Service
- Details
30th April 2017, 4pm, Kirk Braddan
Cruse and Kirk Braddan will once more be holding A Light in Our Life on 30th April 2017, at Kirk Braddan.
A Light in Our Life is a non-religious memorial service for anyone who has experienced the tragic death of a child at any stage in life - from miscarriage, stillbirth, and any age after birth.
The service, which begins at 4pm, will include music, poetry, lighting candles in memory, times for silence and reflection, and the opportunity to include a child's name in a Book of Memories.
We will also hear the names of children being read aloud. This is often done in memorial services as a recognition of a person's life. Hearing a name read aloud has been found to sometimes help those who may have been unable to name a younger child, but find they can now.
All are welcome to this occasion. If you wish to have a child's name read in rememberance and celebration of their life (last names do not need to be included) please send details before 21st April to:

Cruse selected as joint Charity of the Year
- Details
Cruse is proud to announce that we have been selected, alongside Craig's Heartstrong Foundation, as Citywing's joint Charities of the Year!
This is a fantastic recognition of the work Cruse does, and will also help us to raise awareness and funding during 2016.
As well as being provided with 12 return tickets on any Citywing routes to use for fundraising, we'll also be involved in Citywing's annual Plane Pull event and will be able to show a short promotional video on their flights.
David Buck, Managing Director of Citywing says, "We received a huge number of Charity of the Year applications from a variety of worthy causes, which made it very difficult for us to choose just one. We are very pleased to be able to support two local charities for 2016, and excited wo be working with both Cruse Bereavement Care Isle of Man and Craig's Heartstrong Foundation in a number of ways throughout the year.
Both of these charities contribute enormously to the wellbeing of our Island's community, and we are honoured to assist in raising funds and awareness of their services to help ensure that they continue. It is both a responsibility and a pleasure for us, as a local business, to support the important work the charity sector carries out in the Isle of Man."
Cruse's Chairman, Les Watson, says, "Our charity is delighted to have been selected as Citywing's joint Charity of the Year for 2016. We look forward to working with Citywing to help us raise awareness and important funds, so that we can continue to help bereaved people in the Isle of Man."
