The Forca team, with Oakhaven Chief Execuve Andrew Ryde and the Oakhaven catering team Hannah Beddow & Claire Spooner, celebrate £15,000 of fundraising and support for the local community on a recent visit to Oakhaven.


Oakhaven Hospice and well‐known local charity, Força ‐ Strength Against Cancer, have joined forces to the benefit of our local community.


Since January 2016, the ‘Nourish…by força' project has been providing meals for local people coming to Oakhaven for their chemotherapy treatment, as well as a meal to take home aer their treatment. All the meals are freshly prepared on site by the Oakhaven kitchen.


More recently, an addional service has been introduced, providing a meal for each of Oakhaven’s Day Hospice paents to take home to enjoy aer their day at the hospice.


“Força are showing a wonderful support for local people as they go through their cancer journey” said Oakhaven Chief Execuve Andrew Ryde. “The ‘Nourish…by força' project is an amazing and thoughul idea and we have been receiving some incredibly touching comments back from our paents, to whomit is meaning so much”. The commitment from Força to our

work and our local community is great and sponsorship from them for these projects is now fast approaching the £15,000mark.”

Kate Chapman said: “Six years ago one of our close friends in Lymington was diagnosed with cancer. We wanted to help her out as much as we could and realised, somemes it’s the lile things that canmake a huge difference. Arriving home aer a grueling chemotherapy session to find a home‐cooked meal for the family on the doorstep, was a godsend; it meant she didn’t have to worry about preparing a meal and got to use the lile energy she had le aer the treatment, to spend me with her children and husband. The Nourish… by força project was born fromthis, with the aimto making a difference to the lives of local people living with cancer.”


“We are delighted that Nourish… by força has been so well‐received and we are acvely looking at ways that we can enhance the project further.”
