Great Oaks Hospice Events
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 Pippa! 🌟
Every year, Pippa works tirelessly to organise the wonderful Christchurch Community Coffee Morning, bringing people together while raising vital funds for local and national charities.
This year's event takes place on Saturday 26th September, 10.30am to 1pm at Christchurch Church, Ross Road, GL16 7NE, and will once again support Great Oaks Hospice, Cancer Research UK, and Macmillan Cancer Support.
From arranging the venue and raffle to coordinating volunteers and donations, Pippa's dedication makes this community event such a success year after year. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attends, thousands of pounds have been raised over the years to help people affected by life-limiting illnesses and cancer.
💚 Please join us in thanking Pippa for her hard work and commitment to making a difference in our community.
☕ Come along for coffee, cake, a raffle, and a friendly chat while supporting three amazing charities.

❄️✨ ONCE UPON A TIME, A WARDROBE DOOR OPENED… ✨❄️
Beyond it, snow covered the trees, a lamppost glowed in the darkness and a path led towards somewhere rather magical…
But this story isn’t set in Narnia.
It’s happening right here in the Forest of Dean. 🦁✨
On Saturday 10th October, step through the wardrobe and join us at The Speech House Hotel for the Great Oaks Narnia Themed Ball — an evening where fantasy meets winter elegance.
Enjoy canapés on arrival, a delicious two-course meal, dancing until midnight with Pete Stead - Award Winning DJ, plus the chance to bid on some amazing live auction prizes and win some fantastic raffle prizes too.
And behind all the magic is something very real. 💚 Every ticket, bid and bit of support helps Great Oaks Hospice continue providing care and support completely free of charge to people and families in our community.
Come dressed for a beautiful evening, add a little winter sparkle if you fancy, and let us take care of the magic. ✨
🚪 The wardrobe door is open. Will you be part of the story?

🔎 MYSTERY SOLVED… AND £830 RAISED FOR GREAT OAKS! 💚
What a fantastic result from our 70s Murder Mystery Night at Bells Hotel & Country Club, Coleford — an amazing £830 raised for Great Oaks Hospice! 🎉
A huge thank you to the brilliant Trust Me Maybe? for putting on another thoroughly entertaining evening. From suspicious characters and questionable alibis to plenty of laughs along the way, you certainly kept everyone guessing! 🕵️♀️🔎
And, of course, thank you to everyone who came along, joined in and supported the night. That £830 isn't just a number — it will go straight back into helping Great Oaks continue providing care and support completely free of charge to local people and their families when they need us.
Thank you also to Bells Hotel and Country Club for hosting us and helping make the evening possible.
Another mystery solved, another brilliant community night… and £830 making a real difference for Great Oaks. 💚🌳
Thank you!
