At St Catherine’s Hospice, we support people across Chorley, Preston and South Ribble who are living with life-shortening conditions such as cancer, heart failure, respiratory disease and motor neurone disease. Our mission is simple: to help people enjoy the best possible quality of life, right through to the end of life.
We care not only for patients but also for their families, offering support both at the hospice and in the comfort of their own homes. Our team is here to help people achieve what truly matters to them, ensuring they live with dignity, independence and choice in the time they have.
We provide specialist palliative and end of life care tailored to each individual’s needs and wishes. Our care extends beyond medical treatment, focusing on comfort, dignity and emotional wellbeing for patients and their loved ones.

Our vision is to help local people facing life-shortening conditions live in comfort, with dignity and choice. We are committed to both the small details and the bigger challenges, ensuring care is personalised to every individual and family.
Our values are at the heart of everything we do:
We understand that hospital stays can be stressful and unnecessary for many living with life-shortening conditions. That is why we offer the right support to help people remain at home if that is their wish, or to stay at our in-patient unit when extra care is needed.
Our support does not end when someone has died. We continue to walk alongside families through bereavement, offering comfort and connection at some of the most difficult times.
