💜 Community coming together for Halton Haven Hospice 💜

As our chosen charity for 2025-26, we committed to overseeing and resourcing the refurbishment of Halton Haven Hospice’s lounge. What began as a call for help from local tradespeople and businesses has quickly blossomed into a wave of kindness.

From skilled tradespeople offering their expertise, to local shops donating furnishings and paint, every contribution played a vital part in transforming the space for patients and their families.

A huge thank you and shout-out to the following businesses who have contributed to the refurbishment in some way:

Stanbridge Interiors
Wilcowan
North Star Environmental
CHL Mechanical Services
ACS Building and Maintenance
Sanderson Group
Crown Paints
Hindley & Carr
Spark & Bell
CEF Widnes
Treadwell
Legacie
