It is the aim of Great Oaks Hospice to offer care and support to adults with a life limiting illness.
💚🏃 A Huge Thank You to Kyle Price!
Everyone at Great Oaks Hospice would like to say a massive thank you to Kyle Price, who will be taking on the Newport Half Marathon on Sunday 19th April in support of the hospice.
By choosing to run for Great Oaks, Kyle is helping raise vital funds that allow us to continue providing free care and support to people across the Forest of Dean.
Kyle has set up a JustGiving page, so if you are able to support him with a donation, it would be hugely appreciated. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps make a real difference.
👏 Good luck Kyle — we’re all behind you and incredibly grateful for the effort you’re putting in to support the hospice.

🛍 Donate Items or Donate Your Time – Can you help our Lydney shop?
Great Oaks Hospice Shop in Lydney is looking for support from our community in two important ways — donations and volunteers.
If you have good quality clothes, shoes, accessories, books, homeware, bric-a-brac or an unwanted gift, why not pass them on?
Every item sold in the shop helps raise vital funds to support the incredible care Great Oaks Hospice provides for local families.
They’re also looking for friendly volunteers who might have a few hours a week to spare.
Volunteering is a great way to:
✨ Meet new people
✨ Gain experience in retail
✨ Be part of something that truly makes a difference
You can drop donations directly into the Lydney shop, and if you’re interested in volunteering or would like more information, simply leave a message for Julie, the Shop Manager.
📞 01594 811910
💚 Your donations and your time both help Great Oaks continue their amazing work in our community.

Thank you to everyone who has booked to join us for our Easter Bingo evening next Wednesday!
This is always such a popular event and we’re delighted to say that we are now fully booked.
If you have reserved places but are no longer able to attend—or need to reduce your numbers—please let us know as soon as possible. This allows us to release any spare seats to others who are keen to come along, helping us raise as much as possible in support of Great Oaks Hospice.
Thank you so much for your support 💚
