A square graphic with a bright blue background, bold pink quote boxes reading ‘It’s a breath of fresh air’, followed by a short testimonial about support from Overgate Hospice. The testimonial says “to have someone to come together, people in similar situations, having the nurses or supporters to chat to as we’re at the start of his life-limiting condition and it’s reassuring to know there’s somewhere we can drop into if we need a little support”.
