Preston Community Hub is a Community Centre set in the heart of Fishwick at the former YMCA building. There is a long term plan to improve the centre and use for community activities however due to CV-19, priorities have changed. The focus has now shifted to ensuring that families in and around Preston can access food provisions to ensure all are kept fed in these unprecedented times. Post COVOD-19, we will still provide this service to vulnerable members of society but also have a weekly food market.

Our Vision We want everyone in Central Lancashire facing life-shortening illness to experience a good quality of life and, when the time comes, comfort and dignity in death. This means that care, support and information needs to be available when and where it matters most for each person and those important to them. Where desirable, we want to enable living and dying well at home. We believe that this can be achieved by organisations working together locally and where people, families, friends and neighbours have the opportunity and resources to help themselves and each other. We will continue to work hard with local communities, the NHS, charities, businesses, organisations and Hospice UK to fulfil this vision. Our Approach Is to Be: Local Inspired, supported and driven by local people for local people Caring Providing safe, compassionate, responsive care Collaborative Working closely with local communities, the NHS, charities, businesses, organisations and Hospice UK to meet people’s needs across Central Lancashire Ethical A responsible organisation that people respect and trust Effective A sustainable, well-run local hospice, charity, business and community resource that meets local needs
