Some exciting deliveries have landed!!

Several of our lighthouse sculptures have made their way into our artists’ studios and now it’s time to make them shine ✨ 

Thank you to our project manager who helped make these deliveries happen…let’s just say manoeuvring giant lighthouses through doorways is an Olympic sport we’re fully qualified in 🥇

Calling all gents… it’s officially time for a Day Out. 🍻

On 14 March 2026, we’re taking over @plymouthalbionrc  for St Luke’s Men’s Day Out – a cracking excuse to down tools, meet the lads, enjoy a few drinks and do some serious good while you’re at it.

No awkward ice-breakers.
No lycra (unless you really want it!).
No trust falls.

Just good company, great rugby and a brilliant cause 🧡

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.
