Today we were delighted to welcome Jo, Lorraine, Louise and Aimee from Lloyds Banking Group, who kindly spent their volunteering day supporting Great Oaks Hospice.
The team wrapped an incredible 600 books ready for our Santa's Grotto, with more details about this exciting event coming soon, and also sorted and labelled cuddly toys for the tombola.
We're so grateful that they chose to spend their day making a difference for our hospice. Thank you all for your time, enthusiasm and hard work. Your support really does make a difference. 💚💚
