Hollinshead Centre Appeal

The Centre in Hollinshead Street in Chorley has been a hub for community activity for over 75 years helping the most vulnerable people in our community, including older people, those with learning difficulties, those affected by drug/alcohol abuse and the homeless. 

However, our buldings are unsuited to modern day demands, are old and in need of constant maintenance. 

Our wonderful volunteers make the best of what they have, but in order to meet the challenges we face, we need a new Hollinshead Centre,  purpose built to meet our needs and most importantly the needs of the hundreds of people that we support.

Based in the heart of the town, the new Hollinshead Centre will be ideally placed to help everyone who needs our support.

The Centre is currently used by over 50 community groups and agencies who include the Alzheimer's Society, the Stroke Association and keep fit clubs. 

 Seven uniformed groups are based in the Centre and include the Guides and Scouts.

The Centre is used to provide hot and healthy meals to vulnerable families and individuals through the weekly Open Kitchen in partnership with Chorley Help the Homeless. 

Chorley has a very limited number of facilities like the Centre where support can be provided, leaving little choice or alternative to using it with all its' limitations.

The Centre is vital to so many, who without it would have no where to go to access the support and assistance that they need.
