St Ann’s Hospice has begun a roll out of LED lights across its shops, warehouse and trading office as part of the efforts to lower the organisation’s carbon footprint.
Seven of the St Ann’s Hospice charity shops along with the warehouse and the Trading office have now been fitted with the lights, with the charity shop in Altrincham due to be completed next week.
These LED lights will greatly reduce the organisation’s energy consumption and costs while creating a brighter and more welcoming environment for customers, staff, and volunteers.
Head of Trading at St Ann’s Hospice Ryan Perkins said the project was partially funded through the Growth Company, a Manchester-based organization that helps businesses improve efficiency.
“This initiative aligns with our strategic goals by supporting financial viability and fostering growth for future sustainability. It also reflects our commitment to ensuring that our buildings, facilities, and estate are fit for purpose and able to support outstanding person-centred care,” Ryan said.
The LED lights are expected to save almost ten tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
