We’re so grateful that he has kindly created a beautiful set of cards for us to sell at the hospice. His generosity, creativity, and support mean so much, and every purchase will help us continue providing compassionate care to patients and families across our community.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us, we’re incredibly lucky to have such kindness on our doorstep 💚

It is the aim of Great Oaks Hospice to offer care and support to adults with a life limiting illness.
Today, Mary kindly visited us at the hospice to deliver the wonderful sum of £542.05, raised at Saturday’s Coffee Morning – an incredible effort!
While she was here, Mary had the chance to catch up with Complementary Therapist Gerry, who she has known for some time. Mary’s daughter Julie had previously attended Great Oaks before she very sadly passed away. Following Julie’s passing, Mary continued to receive complementary therapy support from Gerry – one of the many services we are proud to offer to bereaved families.
It was especially meaningful for Mary and Gerry to be reunited today as she handed over the proceeds from the Coffee Morning.
Thank you, Mary, for your continued support 💚

A huge thank you to Mary, Claire and friends for hosting a fabulous coffee morning at St Peter’s Church, Newnham, on Saturday
in support of our hospice.
It was such a lovely morning, with an abundance of delicious homemade cakes kindly provided by Mary, Claire and their friends. The event was very well supported by the community, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone who attended.
We are delighted to share that an incredible £542.05 was raised to support our work. Thank you to everyone involved for your generosity and support—it truly makes a difference 💚
