The Countess of Brecknock Hospice is deeply grateful to the family and executors of the estate of the late Leonard Fuller for recognising the work of the Countess of Brecknock Hospice with a hugely generous £1 million legacy. This will help secure vital end-of-life community care services for the years ahead.
“This extraordinary act of generosity will help to fund principally our community nursing services, from which Leonard Fuller benefited, and will also augment our new ‘Forever Fund’, which has been established to assist with securing the future financial stability of the hospice”, said Clare Scheckter, Chair of Trustees at the hospice. “It’s a one-off, transformative gift, but it also reminds us that every legacy matters, whatever the size. Leonard’s kindness and vision will live on in the care we are able to offer to others.”
Clare further added “We are very fortunate to have a dedicated team of excellent clinicians who care tirelessly and compassionately for our 10 in-patients and almost 300 out-patients in the community. Leonard’s legacy is a testament to their professionalism and kindness.”
“He never sought the limelight,” said James, Mr Fuller’s nephew and executor, “but Leonard was someone whose work, values, and quiet generosity have left a permanent mark on Andover and its people. This final gift is exactly in character, a legacy not just of money, but of dignity, dedication, and care for others.” Leonard’s biography can be found here https://leonardfuller.tiiny.site
There will be a cheque presentation and an unveiling of the commemorative plaque to Mr Fuller’s family on Friday 18th July at 11am at the Countess of Brecknock Hospice.
