The shops are places to pop into where friendships are formed, you'll get a warm welcome as well as a bargain!
Five of the shops sell good quality (sometimes new) donated clothing, bric a brac, books and other items at greatly reduced prices. You'll be surprised!

We are so grateful to all those who continue to donate furniture, clothing, homewares and bric a brac but due to the restrictions imposed on waste and our duty of care in ensuring that waste is removed safely , we ask you to please make sure that all your donations are in good condition, not broken and meet with Trading Standards compliance.
St Catherine’s Hospice relies on voluntary funding, this year we have to raise over £2.6 million.Guaranteed income from the Trading Company is therefore vital and enables enabling us to provide the highest levels of care to those in need in the Chorley , Longridge, Preston and South Ribble areas.
We are always looking for volunteers to work in the charity shops and on the Vans. If you can spare some time and would like to support your local hospice please contact Maureen Nickson on
