Wear Green Day for Oakhaven
Friday 24th October 2025
Make a difference for local families - wear green and donate what you can!
Dress up in green for the day!
Could you wear green for Oakhaven Hospice in exchange for a donation? Our Wear Green Day is a great way for everyone to get involved in fundraising.
Wear green clothes, hats, wigs, face paint, nail polish... you choose! You could simply wear green eyeshadow, don your favourite green socks or be flamboyant in a green feather boa! Simply wear green and donate what you can.
If you can't make this date, pick another and let us know.
Wear green and donate what you can.
All money raised will help local families during the most difficult of times. With only a small proportion of our costs funded by government sources, every penny raised makes a difference, enabling us to continue providing exceptional care, comfort and support to patients facing end of life and their loved ones, both within the Hospice itself and out in our New Forest, Totton and Waterside communities.
