Great Oaks Hospice Events
It is the aim of Great Oaks Hospice to offer care and support to adults with a life limiting illness.
Thank you to Velvet Bakery who are generously donating a large box of home-baked goodies for our Narnia Themed Ball at The Speech House Hotel, adding a delicious treat to help make the evening even more special.
Founded and run by Georgia, Velvet Bakery was born from a very personal journey. Georgia was a student nurse, close to qualifying, when ill health unfortunately meant she had to leave university. During that difficult time, baking became a source of comfort, therapy and purpose, eventually inspiring the creation of her own small business.
Georgia says:
"Baking is my therapy and held me during the time I had to leave university, hence my business. Hospices are such an important part of the nursing community, which is why it is such an honour to support this ball."
We are incredibly grateful for Georgia's generosity and support. Please join us in supporting this wonderful local business and thanking Velvet Bakery for helping make our event a success.
Thank you, Georgia and Velvet Bakery! ❤️

🍽️ A TASTE OF SOMETHING SPECIAL AT OUR CHARITY BALL ✨
We’ve got another fantastic addition to the Great Oaks Hospice Charity Ball, thanks to the generosity of Post, Newnham.
Post have kindly donated a voucher for a three-course set meal for two — a lovely opportunity to enjoy the seasonal cooking of chef Fred Page at this wonderful restaurant in the heart of Newnham. 👨🍳
At Post, the menu follows the seasons, with ingredients guided by what’s growing and what’s at its best, including produce from their own small market garden at The Three Doves. It’s local, thoughtful food with a real connection to the Forest and the people and producers around it.
The voucher will be among the fabulous prizes at our Great Oaks Hospice Charity Ball, helping us raise vital funds so we can continue providing our care and support to local people and their families, free of charge.
A huge thank you to everyone at Post for supporting Great Oaks. 🌳💚
And if this one has your name on it… you’ll have to be at the Ball to be in with a chance! 😉
