Compass Minerals UK and DeepStore names St Luke’s Hospice as Charity of the Year (2026/27)
Compass Minerals UK and DeepStore, Winsford, has chosen St Luke’s Hospice as its Charity of the Year for 2026/27, strengthening the long-standing relationship between two organisations with strong ties to Winsford and the wider Cheshire community.
The partnership will see Compass Minerals UK and DeepStore support St Luke’s through a programme of fundraising, volunteering and community activities, helping raise vital funds for local Hospice care.
DeepStore, the underground storage facility based within Compass Minerals’ Winsford’s historic salt mine, is well known for its environmental work and its s commitment to reach Net Zero by 2050. By backing St Luke’s Hospice, the company is extending that commitment beyond environmental responsibility to support the wellbeing of local patients and families.
St Luke’s Corporate Fundraising Officer, Dan Harrison, said:
DeepStore has supported the Hospice for a number of years through donations and its popular Winsford Salt Mine Tours, which offer visitors a rare opportunity to explore the underground archive facility.
Gary Sinclair, Compass Minerals UK and DeepStore Managing Director, said:
“St Luke’s Hospice plays an extraordinary role in our community, offering compassionate care to local people when they need it most. We’re proud to deepen our support by naming St Luke’s our Charity of the Year for 2026/27. Our teams across DeepStore and Compass Minerals UK are looking forward to getting involved in fundraising, volunteering and community events that will help raise vital funds for this much‑loved organisation.”
The new Charity of the Year commitment will build on that support, with a full programme of fundraising events and community initiatives planned throughout 2026 and 2027.
