Story
Thriller in the Villa is a fun event for the Island’s community, providing a platform for local fundraising. The annual event, sees local volunteers embrace the challenge of stepping into the Boxing Ring raising funds for their chosen charity in the Villa Marina's Royal Hall, Douglas, Isle of Man.
"With so many brilliant charities to chose from, there was so much to factor in when choosing one for my Thriller fundraising. I wanted my choice to be something that would have helped me and my friends when it was needed, something that really needs support and something that is super relevant today. Mental Health is so prevalent now and the switch in societal acceptance, understanding and openness to discuss it more openly and to support each other is amazing. I’m part of the Wellbeing Team at work and am a Mental Health First Aider. I felt that Isle Stand Up To Suicide was a great charity to support.
"I wanted to choose Isle Stand Up To Suicide is because I know they do great work and need support. I believe that death by suicide is at its most prevalent nowadays, particularly on Island and #1lifelostis1toomany. This charity offers not only support at the darkest times but also training to share knowledge and teach others the skills to help when needed.”
