Geoffrey Hoare (1928–2022) spent the last week of his life at Winchester Hospice in September 2022. All of his family were moved by the kindness and insight that all the Hospice staff showed towards Geoffrey and his relatives and friends who visited in this final week. The expertise and generosity of everyone working at this Hospice is exceptional and we want to fundraise to reciprocate and say thanks for the support and intuitive understanding which helped us all so much.
