Dancers having fun on the dancefloor at Strictly St Rocco’s 2016
Over the last decade, Strictly St Rocco’s has raised £700,000 towards patient care at the hospice. This money has had a huge impact on the care and services delivered to people with a terminal diagnosis across Warrington. During this time, St Rocco’s has cared for over 2,000 patients on their inpatient ward, answered tens of thousands of calls to their palliative care hub and delivered many other appointments, drop-in sessions, and counselling services. This specialist care would not be possible without the generosity of the Warrington community and the dedication of those that support them. By taking part in Strictly St Rocco’s, you will be helping to fund the hospice when they need you most.
St Rocco’s would like to thank Greenalls who are sponsoring the event and a special thank you also goes out to the 90 brave dancers that have taken part over the last 10 years and to Cadmans Dance Centre who have supported the event year after year, putting on a spectacular show. Victoria Millward, Principle and Owner of Cadmans said, “It has been a privilege supporting Strictly St Rocco’s over the last 10 years. Our team at Cadmans have enjoyed teaching a new skill to many of the dancers and it is a fabulous feeling, seeing all the practice come together on the night.”
