Leading lighting manufacturer Ansell Lighting has continued its support for St. Rocco’s Hospice in Warrington with the creation of a feature lighting wall for a new relaxation room.

St. Rocco’s was Warrington-headquartered Ansell’s charity of the year in 2025, with the business raising more than £1,200. The lighting specialist offered to support with the new relaxation facility, which is now benefitting patients and loved ones who use St. Rocco’s.

Ansell created and installed the feature wall board using its LED Cell strip lighting range. The lighting has a remote control so colours and relaxing scenes can be adjusted according to the needs of the individual patients.

To create a tranquil and relaxing space the room also includes recliner chairs, salt lamps, throws, a music player and blackout blinds and is used for 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 sooths the body.”

Sarah Ankers– HR Director, from Ansell Lighting, said: “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.”
