Sympathetic offer (6)
I believe the answer is:
tender
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'sympathetic' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'offer' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for tender that I've seen before include "Former railway vehicle is sensitive" , "Legal ..., official money" , "Ship that provides supplies to other ships" , "Make bid in gentle way" , "Delicate or kindhearted" .)
