Willow Wood and Dr Kershaw’s Hospice Compete in Strictly Glitterball Trophy

On Friday 17 March 2023, the Queen Elizabeth Hall in Oldham was filled with excitement as twelve couples competed for the coveted Strictly Glitterball Trophy. Six couples from Willow Wood and six from Dr Kershaw’s Hospice had committed to learning a dance routine and performed it in front of a live audience.

This year’s theme was “Best of British” in celebration of the upcoming coronation of King Charles, and it was a special night out for all. The event not only supported two fantastic hospices in the community, but it also featured special guests who provided a full evening of entertainment and fun.

The evening was a huge success, and the winners of the event were Thomas Cochrane and Luke Cregan, who brought the trophy home for Willow Wood Hospice. The couple wowed the audience with their impressive dance moves. Thomas Cochrane who is self-taught choreographed the dance for the couple impressing the Judges enough to win the dance off and bring home the trophy.

All proceeds from the event were split between the two hospices, and it was a fabulous night out enjoyed by all who attended. It was an excellent opportunity to support a great cause and enjoy a night of glitz, glamour, and dancing.
