Great Oaks provides supportive, palliative and end of life care programmes according to the ongoing and changing needs of our community, All of our services are free of charge and provided by experienced staff, supported by trained volunteers.
For a second year we're proud to stand with over 125 hospices
across across England, Scotland, and Wales, for the "This is Hospice
Care" campaign, brought together by Hospice UK.
Hospice care is more than you think, and it's closer than you know.
Somewhere in your life, in your family, your friendships, your
community - hospice care is already making a difference in ways
you might not expect.
But just as the ways we help people grow every year, the need also
grows.
We’re able to support one in four people we care for because
someone - a stranger, a neighbor, someone who never even used
our services - decided hospice care mattered enough to protect.
Someone you'll never meet made sure we could be here for
your community.
Now we're asking you to be that someone for the next
generation. When you leave a Gift in your Will to us, you ensure
that when someone in Forest ofDean googles symptoms at 3am, when a
family needs those crucial words, when life feels impossible -
we're here.
Together, we can make sure that hospice care lives on for
all, for now, forever💚
