Oakhaven Wellbeing - we are here to support you
Welcome to Oakhaven Wellbeing. If you are affected by a life-limiting illness, are caring for someone, or are living with a loss or bereavement, we are here to support you.
You do not need a healthcare referral to benefit from our wellbeing support, activities and services. We offer support at the Coates Centre at Oakhaven Hospice and out in our community - read on for more information.
To find out more on how we can support you, please click here to complete our Expression of Interest form and one of the team will be in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.
“I am so grateful for your help. Your kindness and understanding helped me through an awful time. Thank you.”
Wellbeing support at the Coates Centre
Oakhaven Wellbeing is based at the Coates Centre, set within the grounds of Oakhaven Hospice. The Centre offers a space to meet with others who are affected by a life-limiting illness, are carers, or are experiencing a loss.
You are very welcome to drop in to the Coates Centre, which is open from Monday to Friday, between 10am to 4pm (closed bank holidays). Our trained, dedicated volunteers are available to chat over a cuppa and provide information about our services.
We offer a wide range of support groups, practical drop-in sessions, social groups and planned wellbeing activities every month... or just simply sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Wellbeing support in our communities
We understand that not everyone can get to the Coates Centre, so we bring Oakhaven Wellbeing out to you in your local community. We love to go out to cafés and community centres and we enjoy collaborating with many organisations in the community.
