Would you please pass on our sincere thanks to all of your readers who supported the Great Oaks Summer Fete last Saturday (June 18), either by their attendance, donation of goods or the volunteers who helped with the organisation of the fete and manned the stalls on the day.

Despite the 'inclement weather', hundreds of people turned out to see Stacey Solomon open the fete and we are delighted to be able to announce that due to their generosity, over £6,500 was raised which will be used towards the running costs of the Hospice.

Once again, many thanks to everyone.

– Celia Burton, administration manager, Great Oaks Hospice.
