It is the aim of Great Oaks Hospice to offer care and support to adults with a life limiting illness.
Tea, treasured teddy bears and some wonderful news we can finally share… 🧸💚
Today we welcomed Julie and Amanda, The Teddy Bear Ladies from The Repair Shop, to Great Oaks Hospice for a lovely afternoon together.
Guests brought along their own special bears, and there was plenty of conversation over tea and cake. Our Great Oaks Teddy joined in too, sharing cuddles, posing for photographs and making sure the smaller bears weren’t the only ones getting attention!
Julie and Amanda, thank you for the warmth and kindness you bring to Great Oaks, for taking the time to chat with everyone, and for your generous support of our hospice. It means so much.
Thank you to everyone who spent the afternoon with us, and to our staff and volunteers for the thought and care that helped everyone feel welcome and comfortable.
Alongside the afternoon tea, there was something particularly special to share with our Great Oaks community—and we’ll leave that to two people who can say it best.
🎥 Watch until the end for a message from Julie and Amanda. We’re so pleased we can finally share it with you. 💚
