For a second year we're proud to stand with over 125 hospices
across across England, Scotland, and Wales, for the "This is Hospice
Care" campaign, brought together by Hospice UK.
Hospice care is more than you think, and it's closer than you know.
Somewhere in your life, in your family, your friendships, your
community - hospice care is already making a difference in ways
you might not expect.
But just as the ways we help people grow every year, the need also
grows.
We’re able to support one in four people we care for because
someone - a stranger, a neighbor, someone who never even used
our services - decided hospice care mattered enough to protect.
Someone you'll never meet made sure we could be here for
your community.
Now we're asking you to be that someone for the next
generation. When you leave a Gift in your Will to us, you ensure
that when someone in Forest ofDean googles symptoms at 3am, when a
family needs those crucial words, when life feels impossible -
we're here.
Together, we can make sure that hospice care lives on for
all, for now, forever💚

A big thank you to Stephen Moore, Community Builder for Gloucestershire Rural Community Council, who visited Great Oaks Hospice today.
It was a pleasure to share more about the vital services we provide within our community, and we're delighted that Stephen left with a deeper understanding—and plenty of information—to take back to his team.
Thank you for taking the time to visit, Stephen.
We’re excited to work with you and look forward to the difference we can make together. 💚

This morning, Fundraiser Debbie paid a lovely visit to Goode Court in Lydney, where Great Oaks has been chosen as their Charity of the Year.
We had such an enjoyable time chatting with the residents while Carol, the Manager, and Volunteer Miriam cooked and served delicious pancakes for everyone. The room was full of smiles, conversation, and that unmistakable pancake‑day buzz!
A raffle ran throughout the morning and raised around £100, which will be added to future raffles across the year in support of our hospice.
A huge thank you to everyone at Goode Court for your warmth, generosity, and continued support of Great Oaks 💚
