It is the aim of Great Oaks Hospice to offer care and support to adults with a life limiting illness.
💖 We weren't planning on posting a photo of a toilet this week...
But then this arrived! 😄
Ahead of our Grease Drive-In Movie Night this Saturday at Speech House Field, a huge thank you to Portable Welfare Ltd for supplying what must be the most perfectly themed portaloo we've ever seen.
It's pink.
It's impossible to miss.
And somehow it fits the event perfectly.

🎉 Volunteer Tony Smashes Half Marathon Challenge for His 60th! 🏃♂️
Great Oaks Hospice volunteer Tony has already completed an incredible six half marathons this year as part of a personal challenge to mark his 60th birthday – and he’s not stopping there!
Originally setting out to run a series of races across the year, Tony has gone above and beyond his initial plan and will now continue taking part in even more half marathons throughout 2026, all while raising vital funds for our hospice.
Tony’s most recent achievement was the Bath Two Tunnels Half Marathon, adding another fantastic milestone to his journey.
We’re hugely grateful for Tony’s dedication, commitment, and inspiring effort to support Great Oaks Hospice 💚
