💗 Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💗
When people hear the word hospice, they often think of end-of-life care.
But at Great Oaks Hospice, we're here to support people through diagnosis, treatment and beyond, helping them navigate the challenges they may face and continue living life to the full.
A breast cancer diagnosis can affect so much more than physical health. It can impact emotional wellbeing, confidence, relationships, daily routines and the ability to do the things that matter most.
Through our wellbeing services, therapeutic support, exercise programmes and opportunities to connect with others, we're here to help people rebuild confidence, stay active, improve wellbeing and find the support they need.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, adjusting to life after treatment, or supporting someone you love, you don't have to face it alone.
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're helping to raise awareness that hospice care is about more than end-of-life care. It's about supporting people to live as well as possible, for as long as possible, and ensuring they have access to the care, guidance and encouragement they need at every stage of their journey.
💚 To find out more about the support available through Great Oaks Hospice, please get in touch with our team.

Great Oaks Hospice Events
It is the aim of Great Oaks Hospice to offer care and support to adults with a life limiting illness.
🔎🎃 Everyone’s a suspect… have you got an alibi?
Something mysterious is coming to Bells Hotel and Country Club, Coleford, on Friday 30th October, as Trust Me Maybe? present The Monster Mashed, a Halloween murder mystery evening supporting Great Oaks Hospice.
“The plot thickens…” Gather your fellow detectives, keep an eye on the clues and decide whose story doesn’t quite add up. Expect suspicious characters, a few red herrings and plenty to puzzle over as the mystery unfolds! 🕵️
Your £32 ticket includes a two-course dinner, with a bottle of red and white wine for the winning team and a raffle on the night. Spooky fancy dress is encouraged, with a prize for the best dressed — so your outfit could be a winner even if your detective work leads you astray! 👻
Doors open at 6.45pm, with the mystery beginning at 7.30pm.
Book your seat or team place by calling 01594 811910 or emailing events@great-oaks.org.uk.
A night of Halloween fun, all helping to support local hospice care. Trust Me Maybe… but can you trust your fellow guests? 🎃💚

Today we had the pleasure of visiting the Kingsmeade Centre in Coleford, where the team from Forest Home Care Support Limited organised a raffle in aid of Great Oaks Hospice, raising a fantastic £300.
We received a very warm welcome from Lucy Hamblett, Director of Forest Home Care Support Limited, Emma Hunt, Kingsmeade Warden, and support worker Stacey.
Guests enjoyed a wonderful buffet before the raffle was drawn, followed by fantastic entertainment from Richard, who had everyone singing along and thoroughly enjoying the afternoon.
A huge thank you to everyone involved for your generosity, hospitality and support. Fundraising events like these make a real difference and help us continue providing care and support to patients and families across our community.
We look forward to welcoming the team to Great Oaks Hospice in the near future, where they can see firsthand how the money they have raised helps support our services.
Thank you once again for your kindness and support. 💚
