|support for 19families,<br>in addition<br>to leading a reflection at the Light Up a|
|Life service<br>in the Hospice garden. We also provided<br>support for hospice|

|holding<br>significant<br>supportive<br>conversations<br>with 54% of patients seen.|
|Sports Clubs, Fire Service stations<br>and businesses<br>slowly opened<br>up to|
|visits, with a combination<br>offace to face and telephone<br>support across|
|the year, including<br>attendance<br>at funerals,<br>leading a remembrance<br>event,|
|sending encouragement<br>cards and texts, visiting or calling on a regular|
|basis, and providing<br>focused listening sessions where requested. We|
