School Question of the Week 🌟

At one of our very first Guiding Lights school assemblies, an inquisitive young student asked us:
“What does the trail lead to?” 🤔

We loved this question - because we love curiosity AND it gets right to the heart of what makes the St Luke’s Guiding Lights art trail so special.

Unlike some trails, there’s no official start or finish, no final point or hidden treasure chest. And, unlike the end of a rainbow, there’s no pot of gold waiting at the end…

But there is something even better: the incredible fundraising “pot of gold” that will be raised through the trail - helping St Luke’s care for people in their final weeks and days of life, and supporting their loved ones when it matters most.

So really, the trail leads to final memories, compassion, and care. 🌈

The St Luke's Guiding Lights art trail will feature a downloadable app and physical map that you can use to determine your very own trail journey. We just can't wait for next summer! 🌞

How Lighthouses support St Luke’s Hospice Plymouth

Lighthouses are navigators for those who are weathering stormy seas. The first lighthouse built on the treacherous Eddystone Rock, was a pioneering project, just as St Luke’s has been a trailblazer for hospice care in Plymouth, Southwest Devon and East Cornwall. We put our patients first, delivering care in their homes and at our specialist unit at Turnchapel and shine the spotlight on encouraging conversations around death, dying and bereavement.
