“The weeks flew over and we had loads of fun and laughs whilst training and would do it all again if we could!”
Bring on the sequins, the fake tan and the battle for the glitterball trophy! We are so excited to let you know that we are FINALLY able to bring back Strictly St Cuthbert’s for 2023!






Hear from our last Strictly winners, sisters Hayley and Ashleigh:

Finance assistant Hayley said: “We signed up to support St Cuthbert’s Hospice as we’ve both lost family and friends to cancer.
“Our Granda Ernie who had been battling cancer for a year, sadly passed away a couple of weeks into our training (in 2020).
“It meant so much to us to be taking part in his memory.”
Social worker Ashleigh said: “We were last to dance on the night so we were getting more and more nervous.
“I was so scared. At one point I was sat back stage just staring into space.
“It was always just a bit of fun and we didn’t ever think we would win. We just couldn’t believe it, I was still getting over the shock of scoring all tens from the judges and then when they announced we had won it was just amazing.”
