MannVend is proud to announce that its IOM Story Charity Coffee will support Cruse Bereavement Support Isle of Man as its nominated charity for 2026.
Created as a way of giving back to the Island community, MannVend’s unique IOM Story Charity Coffee blend donates £1 from every bag sold to a selected local charity each year. The 2026 funds raised will go directly to Cruse Bereavement Support Isle of Man, helping the charity continue its vital work across the Island.
Cruse Bereavement Support Isle of Man is a Manx charity providing free advice, information and one-to-one support to bereaved children, young people and adults. Offering a compassionate “listening service” rather than crisis intervention, the charity creates a safe and understanding space where people can talk openly and explore their grief. All support is delivered by trained bereavement volunteers, and the service is provided at no cost to the Isle of Man community thanks to the generosity of donors and funders.
MannVend’s coffee specialists developed the IOM Story blend to suit both traditional espresso machines used by caterers and modern workplace bean-to-cup machines. Using sustainably sourced Brazilian and Colombian beans, they created a rich, smooth, full-bodied roast with tasting notes of chocolate, berries and caramel.

Tracey Leahy, Managing Director of MannVend, said: “The concept of our charity coffee began in 2020 during the pandemic as a way for us to give something back to our community. Since then, we have supported The Henry Bloom Noble Trust, Hospice Isle of Man and the Manx Breast Cancer Support Group. We are delighted to support Cruse Bereavement Support Isle of Man throughout 2026. They provide a truly valuable and much-appreciated service to our Island.”
The fundraising campaign will continue from now until the end of 2026 when the total fundraised will be announced.
CEO for Cruse Mary Doyle added: ‘As a small charity that makes a huge difference to those grieving on the Island we are very grateful to Tracey at MannVend for this fabulous support – thank you!’.
