🎄🦁 MAKING CHRISTMAS A LITTLE MORE MAGICAL 💚
A huge and heartfelt thank you to the Forest of Dean Lions Club for their very kind donation towards our Great Oaks Hospice Christmas Grotto. 🎅✨
The Lions have been supporting people across the Forest of Dean since 1973, and once again they’ve shown what wonderful community spirit we have here.
Their generosity will help us create something really special for local children this Christmas — from the twinkling lights to the books and little touches that make a visit to Santa feel magical. 🎁📚
But behind all that Christmas sparkle is something even more important. Support like this means we can put on events that bring our community together while continuing to raise awareness of Great Oaks Hospice and the care and support we provide completely free of charge to local people and their families.
To everyone at the Forest of Dean Lions Club, thank you for choosing to support our Christmas Grotto and for everything you continue to do within our local community. Your kindness will help create some very happy memories this Christmas. 💚🎄
From everyone at Great Oaks Hospice — thank you, Lions! 🦁

🌟 A Huge Thank You to Pippa! 🌟
Every year, Pippa works tirelessly to organise the wonderful Christchurch Community Coffee Morning, bringing people together while raising vital funds for local and national charities.
This year's event takes place on Saturday 26th September, 10.30am to 1pm at Christchurch Church, Ross Road, GL16 7NE, and will once again support Great Oaks Hospice, Cancer Research UK, and Macmillan Cancer Support.
From arranging the venue and raffle to coordinating volunteers and donations, Pippa's dedication makes this community event such a success year after year. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attends, thousands of pounds have been raised over the years to help people affected by life-limiting illnesses and cancer.
💚 Please join us in thanking Pippa for her hard work and commitment to making a difference in our community.
☕ Come along for coffee, cake, a raffle, and a friendly chat while supporting three amazing charities.
