Spring/Summer 2023
Do it for
Oaktober
This October do something different to make a difference
This year we have decided to dedicate
a whole month to Oakhaven. Walk it,
teach it, wear it, drink it or donate it,
there are so many ways you can ‘do it’ for
Oaktober. We want the whole community,
schools, and businesses to get involved and get
fundraising. What will you do?
Can you run, cycle or swim a mile a day?
Host a cocktail evening or cookery class? Can
you give up coffee, chocolate or crisps? No
challenge is too big or small to have fun and get
fundraising this October.
Get involved in our ‘Wear it Green Day’ on
the 20th October 2023. You could simply wear
green eyeshadow, don your favourite green
socks or be flamboyant in a green feather boa!
Just wear green and donate what you can. If
you can’t make this date, pick another, and
let us know. Local business? Why not get your
colleagues involved in your own tea/coffee
morning on ‘Wear it Green Day’. There is so
much value in a good cuppa!
And if you can handle this, maybe you’ll be
ready to take on the ultimate challenge ‘The
Fire and Ice Walk’ and the flaming finale to
Oaktober! Join us in the hospice gardens on
Wednesday 25th October where the bravest
‘soles’ will walk over broken glass and hot coals
in the twilight. Friends and family are welcome
along to offer encouragement and celebrate
their achievements. You have to be 11 years old
to take part, but any brave ‘soles’ over the age
of 5 years can take on the Lego Walk.
