💚 Your life. Your words. Your legacy.
Every life is made up of stories. The big moments, the little memories, the people and places that have mattered, and all those things we sometimes think we'll get around to sharing one day.
We’re delighted to be working with Anna to offer people supported by Great Oaks Hospice the opportunity to have their life story professionally filmed, creating something very special to share with family and friends.
There’s no script and no right or wrong way to tell your story. It’s simply a relaxed conversation, at your own pace, about the memories, experiences and moments you would like to capture.
After the wonderful response to the first story, Anna is keen to keep the project growing and give more people the opportunity to create their own lasting gift. 💚
Take a look through the slides to find out more and how to get in touch with Anna if you’d like to have an initial chat.
Your story, told your way. A gift for those you love.

🐾 Meet Rosie! 💚
Rosie, our wonderful Pets As Therapy dog, is a very welcome weekly visitor to our Wellbeing Centre.
There’s something rather special about having a four-legged friend pop in to say hello, and Rosie is always happy to spend a little time with everyone she meets. 🐶
A huge thank you to Rosie and all the Pets As Therapy dogs (and their lovely hoomans!) who give their time to bring a little extra companionship to places like Great Oaks. 💚🐾

💚 FOUR TOWNS, BEAUTIFUL VIEWS — AND OVER £1,000 RAISED!
What a wonderful way to remember today’s Great Oaks Walk. These pictures capture the smiling faces, autumn sunshine and beautiful scenery across the Forest of Dean and Newent — all made more special by the people walking together.
Across Coleford, Cinderford, Lydney and Newent, some walked in memory of someone dearly missed, others for someone special. Every step had meaning, and together you have now raised over £1,000 for Great Oaks Hospice, with the final count still to come! 💚
A special thank you to Newent Town Council and Lydney Recreation Trust (Lydney Town Council) for granting permission to use land along our walking routes. Your support helped make this lovely morning possible.
To every walker, volunteer, donor and everyone who helped along the way — thank you. Your kindness helps Great Oaks provide free care and support for people with life-threatening illnesses, and support for their families and friends.
Enjoy these beautiful moments from all four towns. You might spot yourself, someone you know or a favourite view! 📸🍂
A morning of walking, remembering and caring — thank you for being part of it. 💚
