Help us Fundraise

Become an Oakhaven Fundraiser!

We wouldn’t be here without your generosity. Every year we need to raise £5 million to enable us to provide expert end-of-life care and support to our community. By taking part in our fundraising events, raising money in the community, playing in our Oakhaven lottery or donating and buying in our shops, you make a real difference to people living with a diagnosis, facing death or coming to terms with a bereavement.

“From the first day, when I was walking in with my family to visit my Dad, to the last day, when we left knowing we wouldn’t return, we were unconditionally loved. Being so young when I would visit, Oakhaven was the first experience of vast kindness from ‘strangers’ I remember.

I owe them the world for making those final, special-yet-painful days with my Dad full of warmth and love. I’m now left with nothing but those memories, but I’m beyond thankful I have them.

I’ve continued to raise money for Oakhaven since I was a young adult to ensure the next family that comes through their doors gets what I had – a cherished chance to say goodbye.”
