Finding joy again - John's story

John R V3

This summer, John found more than just support after being referred to Hospice in the Weald by his GP. Following his diagnosis, he expected quiet corridors and clinical conversations. Instead, he discovered the Living Well service – a vibrant, welcoming community of staff, volunteers and patients, all focused on living life fully.

“The team here sees me as John, not my diagnosis. They’ve helped me enormously to cope with difficulties, but more than that, they’ve given me back joy,” John said. Over the past six weeks, John has taken part in a Living Well programme that includes weekly quizzes, creative workshops, gentle exercise and games like boules, and shared meals.

“It’s hard to meet people when you live alone,” he reflected. “But it’s been lovely to connect with others situations. Sometimes we sing, sometimes we just talk about our gardens or families.”

Between April 2024 and March 2025, 543 people like John were supported by the Hospice’s Living Well services – made possible by the generosity of our community.

“It’s not about illness, it’s about living. This autumn, please consider making a donation to help someone like me keep living well,” said John. “Your support can help someone rediscover laughter, hope, and the feeling of being truly cared for.”

If 164 donors each donate £30, they could enable 5 people to benefit from our Living Well programme, enjoying a range of group and individual activities and therapies, typically over six months.
