👀 Oh, look our computers have just arrived in Malawi for distribution to schools! How cool is that?! 💚
We are so delighted to be supporting The ITSA Digital Trust with their aim of refurbishing computers to create better futures.
The equipment we recently donated is a part of the 700 laptops and computers that are going to improve the education of children. Each device is used by 100 students enabling 70,000 pupils access to the digital world. If you have equipment of your own you would like to donate, please reach out to ITSA - itsadigitaltrust.org/

It is the aim of Great Oaks Hospice to offer care and support to adults with a life limiting illness.
💚 JUST LOOK AT THOSE SMILES! 💚
What a wonderful afternoon we had at Lydney Town Hall for our Vintage Tea Party! 🫖🎶💃
Sometimes a reel says it better than we ever could — dancing, laughter, friendship and plenty of tea, with a room full of people simply having a brilliant time.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, to Pete Stead - Award Winning DJ for keeping the music flowing, and to everyone who helped make the afternoon possible.
Your support means so much to Great Oaks Hospice, and seeing so many people enjoying themselves made the day even more special. 💚
Turn up the sound, have a watch and enjoy a little look back at a very happy afternoon in Lydney! 🎶

🚲💚 £100,000 IS GETTING VERY, VERY CLOSE!
£98,700 raised… just £1,300 to go until Les & Julie Cockle reach an incredible £100,000 for Great Oaks Hospice! 🙌
But before we talk about that final £1,300, we need to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Les and Julie.
Since October 2019, they’ve devoted an enormous amount of time and effort to taking in unwanted bikes, repairing and recycling them and finding them new homes — with every penny raised going to Great Oaks Hospice. 💚
£98,700 is already a phenomenal achievement, and we simply cannot thank them enough for everything they continue to do for our Hospice.
Now, after all those bikes, all those repairs and all those hours of hard work… £100,000 is within touching distance! 🚲
If you’re looking for a bike, or have one you could donate, get in touch with Les:
📍 Fieldway, Lydney Road, Yorkley, GL15 4RR
📞 07854 842424
You’ll know you’re in the right place… the bikes outside are usually a bit of a giveaway! 😄
Thank you, Les & Julie — £98,700 and counting. What an incredible difference you’ve made for Great Oaks Hospice. 💚
