It is the aim of Great Oaks Hospice to offer care and support to adults with a life limiting illness.
We are thrilled to have been chosen as the Charity Sponsor at Howick Horse Trials this year, organised by Hannah Matthews.
Held just outside Chepstow, this fantastic event features a three-phase competition taking place across three dates throughout the year and is the only British Eventing competition remaining in Wales.
Great Oaks Hospice has been selected to sponsor one of the cross-country jumps—an exciting opportunity to raise awareness of the vital work we do to support patients and families across our community.
This partnership is especially meaningful for one of our team members, who has a personal connection to the event and has seen first-hand the difference hospice care can make. They are passionate about helping us share that impact with others.
Howick Horse Trials offers a wonderful opportunity to connect with the local community and shine a light on the importance of hospice care.
Our fundraising buckets will be in the Secretary’s Tent, and if you’re attending, we would be incredibly grateful if you’d consider supporting Great Oaks Hospice.

Today we held our Royal Ascot Ladies Day at Bells Hotel, Coleford – and what a truly fantastic day it was!
A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support us. The effort that went into your outfits was incredible – you all looked amazing. As one guest said, “It was such a wonderful afternoon – the atmosphere, the outfits, and knowing it’s all for such a special cause made it even more memorable.”
We’re also so grateful to the wonderful staff at Bells Hotel, who worked tirelessly to make sure everything ran so smoothly.
Another fabulous fundraising event, helping to raise much-needed funds for our hospice 💚
