Patrons
Sir Lindsay Hoyle Speaker of the House of Commons - APPEAL Patron
“I’ve been the MP for Chorley since 1997 and know of the wonderful work that Hollinshead Centre does for the local people. It has been helping and supporting vulnerable people in our community for as long as I can remember – all sorts of people from all sorts of groups.
I am very proud to be an Appeal Patron of this fundraising campaign and urge everyone to do whatever they can to support what is a truly worthwhile endeavour.”
Lord Shuttleworth HM Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire - APPEAL patron
“I am so pleased to be an Appeal Patron for this worthwhile project. The team at the Hollinshead Centre do a great job in supporting all those around them - the lonely and vulnerable, everyone, together. The new Hollinshead Centre will provide a much improved and more supportive environment for them to carry on doing this but more widely and helping more people. This is something that the people of Chorley have been in desperate need of for a long time and it will only make them a stronger and healthier community.”
Councillor Alan Whittaker - APPEAL patron
“I am genuinely impressed with this project. The plans for the new Hollinshead Centre are exciting - and just what the people in and around Chorley need. There will be so much more on offer for everyone - from rooms that clubs can hire, a community cafe, to an IT suite and large community hall for special occasions. I urge everyone who can help, to give their support to this appeal. I am proud to be an Appeal Patron”.
Tony Attard OBE DL - APPEAL patron
"I have been involved in business in Lancashire for more than 35 years. I passionately believe that business leaders, such as myself, must play a part in helping to develop and improve society, which is why I have devoted so much of my time to it.
The Hollinshead Centre is exactly what Chorley needs as it will provide a multifunctional facility with the scope to help so many diverse sections of society."
