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.
Donate today to support your local hospice

Our ‘Mini Murals’ (@mrsmurals) lighthouse sculpture has officially been out on safari 🫶🏻
On a recent visit to Dartmoor Zoo, it found itself under close inspection from some very curious meerkats – plus a surprise meeting with a potoroo!
The verdict? Plenty of sniffing, intense staring, and only a little appreciation for its nautical charm.
We’re thrilled to update that @dartmoorzoo will be one of our incredible Roaming Exhibition venues and sponsors – with a wider announcement coming soon 👀✨
Mini Murals is proudly sponsored by @gasolicitors 👏🏽

What a wonderful evening! Thank you all for coming to our Art Selection evening at the @nationalmarineaquarium . With so many incredible designs, we can`t wait to see them completed and shining the light on the invaluable work @stlukesplymouth does in our community.
These colourful beacons will stand proudly in many locations across the city this summer to bring joy to local families and visitors as part of the @wildinart Art Trail. They`ll then be auctioned off in October to raise vital funds for St Luke`s. There`s still time for businesses to get involved and become a lighthouse keeper.
Huge thanks to all of our wonderful sponsors, partners and supporters for your help so far. Special thank you to @pl1events – our shining Event Production Partner 🌟
