💚 Thank You for Your Support 💚
It was lovely to visit 3 hill street & watney hall, in Lydney today, where landlady Gail and the pub regulars who run the Meat Club kindly presented Great Oaks Hospice with a fantastic donation of £200.
We would like to say a huge thank you to Gail and everyone involved for their generosity and continued support. Community fundraising like this makes a real difference and helps us continue providing vital care and support to local patients and families.
We are incredibly grateful for your kindness and support. 💚
