Oban Hospice Dove Services – Easter Weekend

Our services will be closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday. We will re-open as usual at 9:00 AM on Tuesday, April 7th.

Easter Brings a Splash of Yellow to Oban Town Centre

Easter is the time of year when daffodils burst into full bloom, painting seas of yellow across gardens, roadsides – and right at the heart of our town.

This beautiful picture, courtesy of Oban Hospice fundraiser David Evans, was taken this afternoon, of one of our Oban Hospice Cared flower beds/planters on Gibraltar Street. Bringing such vibrant colour to the town centre is only made possible by your continued generous support and the hard work of our gardening volunteers.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter! 🐣
