Last week, GoodOaks Homecare – East Dorset hosted a festive coffee morning in West Moors, welcoming members of the local community alongside their clients for a morning of seasonal cheer and connection. Guests attended from West Moors and the surrounding areas of Ferndown, Verwood, and Wimborne, creating a truly local and inclusive event.
The coffee morning was filled with festive music, delicious treats, and plenty of opportunities to chat and share memories. It provided a relaxed and welcoming space for older people to come together, celebrate the holiday season, and enjoy the simple pleasure of good company – something that can be especially important at this time of year.
They were thrilled with the fantastic turnout and the generosity shown by everyone who attended. The festive raffle alone raised over £130 for Macmillan Cancer Support, helping to support the incredible work they do for people living with cancer and their families. Everyone who bought a ticket helped make a meaningful difference.
Events like this are at the heart of what GoodOaks Homecare – East Dorset stands for. They play a vital role in reducing social isolation and encouraging people to make new connections, helping older members of the community feel supported, valued, and part of something special. Seeing friendships form, conversations flow, and smiles shared was a wonderful reminder of the power of community.
