Gerry Dowds, BeesRose Counselling Oakhaven’s welcoming and friendly Coates Centre o ers support to anyone living across the New Forest, Waterside and Totton areas whose lives have been impacted by the illness of a loved one or who are su ering with a long-term condition themselves; with no need for a referral or to be known to the Hospice. e drop-in style centre, open 10am and 4pm Mondays to Fridays, o ers information, support and activities: a chat over a cup of tea and a slice of cake or the chance to join a peer- support group, take part in a wellbeing or social activity, or simply sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Specialist sta and trained volunteers provide the centre’s services which include counselling and bereavement services, complementary therapy services and social, health and wellbeing support. Now in its eighth year of opening, the Centre welcomes a steady stream of visitors from across the Oakhaven catchment area; however it has long been recognised that not everyone nds the Centre accessible as visitors need their own transport to visit, and the perception of distance travelling from the more eastern parts of Oakhaven’s catchment area to the Centre in Pennington is daunting to some. With this in mind, Oakhaven Wellbeing is working on an exciting new community project with teams of trained volunteers going out to into local communities across Oakhaven’s catchment area. Members of the public will be able to meet and speak to Wellbeing teams in community venues across the area, having the opportunity to learn more about the services and support available from Oakhaven Wellbeing and the Hospice services. Oakhaven’s ethos of making every moment matter is not just about end of life care; although experts in this eld Oakhaven is striving to support and work with its local communities to promote wellbeing for anyone whose life is impacted by illness; o ering information and support to help make every moment matter, living life as well as possible, but also understanding and promoting talking about death and dying and supporting people with planning for the end of life in advance.
