We’re proud to have continued our support for St. Rocco’s Hospice in Warrington with the creation of a feature lighting wall for their new relaxation room.

St. Rocco’s was our charity of the year in 2025, with our team raising more than £1,200. We then offered to go a step further and support the development of their new relaxation facility — a space that is now benefitting patients and loved ones at the hospice every day.

We created and installed a feature wall board using our LED Cell strip lighting range. The lighting comes with a remote control, allowing colours and relaxing scenes to be adjusted according to the needs of individual patients. The room also features recliner chairs, salt lamps, throws, a music player and blackout blinds, and is used for a range of therapies including reflexology, hand and head massage, group therapy sessions and relaxation classes.

Gemma Sheerin, Marketing and Communications Manager at St. Rocco’s, said: “The lighting feature wall has brought another dimension to our relaxation room. Using the lights we are able to provide a calm and soothing environment for our patients. The lights help to induce a feeling of relaxation for our patients as soon as they enter the room. During treatments, the lights are also a gentle distraction to help calm the mind as the therapy soothes the body.”

Our HR Director Sarah Ankers reflected on what the partnership has meant to us as a business: “I’m incredibly proud of the way our colleagues and the wider business have come together to support St. Rocco’s. The generosity, energy and commitment everyone has shown truly reflects who we are as an organisation. St. Rocco’s does truly incredible work, providing compassionate care and vital support to patients, and those important to them, during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Being able to contribute to that mission is something we value deeply.

“One of the standout moments this year has been the beautiful lighting scheme our team designed, using our products to enhance the therapy room. This has helped create a warm, calming space that supports the wellbeing of those who use it — and it’s a wonderful example of how sharing our skills and creativity can make a meaningful difference.”
