I fully expect the answer to be a resounding 'no', but I have what would otherwise be a fabulous photo if it was not a little out of focus. Does anyone know of any software which might correct it?

You can correct it to a point in photoshop
GIMP is the free version.
Try sharpen on any image program you have
Several photo editing programs offer a 'sharpen' filter, which attempts to do what you require. However using it inevitably adds a level of 'grain' to the photo. (Using 'sharpen edges', rather than just 'sharpen' can sometimes make the 'grain' effect less noticeable).

Using an 'unsharp mask' works in a similar way.

I've got a 'full' version of Photoshop, which includes the relevant filters. The nearest equivalent freebie is Gimp:

Gimp includes some 'one click' ways of sharpening an image but, for the best results (as with Photoshop) you need to put a bit of effort in, like this:

I have just started using pixlr.com - could you provide any assistance please? I have found the sharpen to, but nothing happens when I move to the picture.
Open the image, then at the top of the screen go filter/sharpen. Do that a few times
I've never used Pixlr but filters are applied to specific areas of an image (or, of course, to the whole of it). i.e. you might need to find a way of selecting the area to be processed before applying the filter. (Perhaps by dragging a selection rectangle around it?).
It's sharpening the whole image. In the history box on the right, click open image then back to the last sharpen to see the difference
It looks a lot like GIMP Buenchico
