## **OUR YEAR** 

Special thanks to The Walton Feel Good Choir who chose us as their charity of the year. We received £880 in January 2025. Over that festive period we donated hundreds of selection boxes to Sir Martins Frobisher Primary School. The Clacton Railways Club hosted Bingo Bongo which was very successful and laughs were had all round. 





## **CHAIRS WORDS** 


Joanne Harris-Beck, Founder & Chair As always we are so appreciative of the support from those who help spread awareness, like and share our posts on social media. We would love to help more hospitals near and far so please get in touch if we can help in any way. 




## **OUR INSPIRATION** 


Oakley’s Gift was originally founded in December 2018 after the founder’s son was born via emergency c-section. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the medical team he died of meconium aspiration syndrome. His parents did not want his little life to be forgotten and wanted to turn their grief into something positive. That is when Oakley’s Gift was created. The name was suggested by Natashia, our treasurer. That’s exactly what we wanted to do, gift. Our love for Oakley is the force that drives us in all we do.
