Strictly St. Rocco’s is a yearly dance event that takes place in December, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. The 2023 edition was a remarkable evening, raising £71,000 for patient care at St Rocco’s. This year, we are thrilled to have our Sales and Estimating Manager, Paul, representing the company!
Q: What inspired you to participate in Strictly St Rocco’s this year?
A: The work that the team at St Roccos does is amazing, I can’t imagine the toll this takes on the staff and volunteers as they provide support to the community, patients, and families of those who are in their care.
The opportunity to help and support in any way is unmissable – we don’t know what the future holds, but if I’m ever in a position myself or a friend or family member need the support of St. Rocco’s – id like to think I had played my part in ensuring care is available.
Q: How do you feel about the challenge of learning a new dance routine over 6 weeks?
A: I love a challenge – but this is the first time I’ve faced a challenge of this type – I’d say that I’m excited at the opportunity. Still, I’m also nervous about the performance, no matter how many lessons I have, the thought of the final goal and performing in front of a room full of people will always be in my mind.
Q: What are your thoughts on performing in front of a large audience?
A: Terrifying!!!! This is completely out of my comfort zone – the idea of all eyes on me is scary!!! I just hope I perform well on the night and can look back and be satisfied did what I could
Q: How do you plan to prepare for the competition?
A: I have no idea!!!! I’m looking forward to meeting my professional dance partner to ask their advice!
Q: What message would you like to share with the audience and supporters?
A: We never know what is around the corner or when we might need help from others.
Give what you can while you can because you never know when you might need someone else to help, charity, or support.
We wish Paul the best of luck!
