The Mill is a social enterprise owned and managed by St Catherine’s Hospice.
This means that all profits raised through the café and outside catering are given back to the charity and used to support its specialised care for local people facing life-shortening conditions.
The Mill opened in November 2014 and since then has achieved many varied objectives for the hospice charity and the Central Lancashire community.
These include:
- Opening up St Catherine’s and its grounds to the public – breaking down barriers which can surround the word ‘hospice’ by making the place more accessible and familiar.
- Creating a normal and welcoming environment to be enjoyed by patients, families, and members of the public.
- Offering support for those facing serious illness or bereavement in a more informal way, via volunteer advisors, drop-in sessions and light-touch therapies.
- Strengthening the sustainability of the hospice through profits from the café, long-term leases and room hire.
- Encouraging new and ongoing support for St Catherine’s from customers who go on to become donors, fundraisers and volunteers for the charity.
St Catherine’s Hospice
St Catherine’s is an independent local charity which is here to help local people affected by life-shortening conditions such as cancer, motor neurone disease and heart failure to have quality of life to the end of life.
Working from the hospice in Lostock Hall and in the communities across Chorley, Preston and South Ribble, the charity delivers personalised care to help patients live in comfort and with dignity, independence and choice, whilst also supporting their loved ones.

The Woodside Clinic
The Woodside Clinic is based in the grounds of St Catherine’s Park and treats patients living with lymphoedema – a condition which occurs when the body struggles to drain waste fluid from the body.
The state-of-the-art clinic treats patients with both cancer and non-cancer related lymphoedema, and those with and without a palliative diagnosis. It also provides a paediatric service for children with the condition in Central Lancashire and beyond.
