👀 Oh, look our computers have just arrived in Malawi for distribution to schools! How cool is that?! 💚
We are so delighted to be supporting The ITSA Digital Trust with their aim of refurbishing computers to create better futures.
The equipment we recently donated is a part of the 700 laptops and computers that are going to improve the education of children. Each device is used by 100 students enabling 70,000 pupils access to the digital world. If you have equipment of your own you would like to donate, please reach out to ITSA - itsadigitaltrust.org/

This afternoon, we held our Annual Vintage Tea Party at Lydney Town Hall, and what a wonderful afternoon it was!
Our supporters enjoyed delicious cream teas, with the amazing Gill - Nanny KnitKnit baking an incredible 250 cream teas for everyone to enjoy. Gill and her daughter Julie are so generous with their support of this event , every year Our charity shops joined us with a fantastic selection of vintage-style goods for sale, and the dance floor was kept busy all afternoon thanks to Pete Stead - Award Winning DJ the DJ, who had everyone up and dancing. We are so grateful to everyone who came along to support Great Oaks Hospice. It truly was a wonderful event. A huge thank you to all our dedicated volunteers and helpers who served refreshments to our guests and kept the kitchen running like clockwork throughout the afternoon. We are delighted to share that a fantastic £1,074 was raised for Great Oaks Hospice. Thank you once again to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, and supported the event. We are already looking forward to doing it all again next year! 💚
We are currently gathering all the wonderful photos from the afternoon and will be sharing them over the next few days, so keep an eye on our page to see some of the special moments from this fantastic event. 💚
