This morning, Fundraiser Debbie paid a lovely visit to Goode Court in Lydney, where Great Oaks has been chosen as their Charity of the Year.
We had such an enjoyable time chatting with the residents while Carol, the Manager, and Volunteer Miriam cooked and served delicious pancakes for everyone. The room was full of smiles, conversation, and that unmistakable pancake‑day buzz!
A raffle ran throughout the morning and raised around £100, which will be added to future raffles across the year in support of our hospice.
A huge thank you to everyone at Goode Court for your warmth, generosity, and continued support of Great Oaks 💚
