Charity

St. Catherine’s Hospice

We have been supporting a local charity, St. Catherine’s Hospice, throughout the year. St Catherine’s cares for patients and families across Chorley, Preston and South Ribble who are affected by life-shortening conditions like cancer, motor neurone disease and heart failure.

We have donated to the St. Catherine’s Hospice charity shop and have also raised money in the office with Halloween dress up and Christmas Jumper day.

We held a Macmillan’s Coffee Morning at the office. Macmillan provide physical, financial and emotional support to those who are suffering with cancer. Everyone contributed and showed their support to Macmillan.
