It is the aim of Great Oaks Hospice to offer care and support to adults with a life limiting illness.
🌊⛵ An incredible challenge for a truly important cause 💚
We’re thrilled to support Eric Witheridge and his companion John as they take on an amazing adventure – circumnavigating the UK by sea in aid of Great Oaks Hospice.
Setting off from Lydney Harbour, their journey will take them around the UK coastline, with stops including Ireland and the Scottish islands, before returning later this summer.
Their goal? To raise vital funds so we can continue providing free care and support for people living with life-limiting illnesses, as well as their families and loved ones.
💚Every donation—big or small—makes a real difference in helping us be there when our community needs us most.
So far, they’ve already begun their fundraising journey, but they still need your support to reach their target!

👏 Let’s wish Eric and John fair winds, safe travels, and every success on this inspiring challenge!
