At Marie Curie, we provide care and support for people living with any terminal illness and their families. We’ve been carrying out this vital work since 1948 – last year we helped more than 50,000 people across the UK.

We are one of the leading end-of-life and palliative care providers and our services range from nursing care, hospices, research, information and support line to petitioning the government to change how we support those living with a terminal illness and their families and carers. During the Coronavirus pandemic, we have been working flat out in partnership with the NHS to ensure we can respond to stop them from being overloaded. Freeing up intensive care beds needed for coronavirus patients and exploring all the options to ensure we can be there to support dying people, families and the NHS.

A global pandemic clearly makes living with a terminal illness even more complex, our services are needed more than ever to give support at a very unknown time and to ease pressure from the NHS.

As a charity, we want to raise awareness of the services we provide, how people can access them and how people can get involved. All our talks are free.

About Marie Curie Talks

Across the UK Marie Curie Speaker Volunteers and Community Fundraisers are able to attend your meeting, either in person or virtually, for free.

Our speakers aim to give you an insight into the support Marie Curie gives to families facing terminal illness. Raising awareness of our services, history, the current crisis we face around the end of life care and our charities mission and future ambitions to address this.

We have given talks to a wide range of different community groups such as Rotary, WI, Brownies, U3A, faith groups and schools. Our talks will range between 10 minutes to 45 minutes depending on your needs.

Who are the Marie Curie Speakers?

  • Marie Curie Speaker Volunteers, are individuals who are passionate about the charity and the work we do across the UK. They all support Marie Curie and have different experiences of the charity either through the services we provide or through volunteering.
  • Community Fundraisers are the key link to the local communities and the charity, enabling supporters to fundraise or volunteer. They are knowledgeable on the charity’s activities and direction, as well as what is happening in local communities.

We are able to attend both virtual (online) talks or in person. We will only attend talks in person if they follow current COVID guidance to ensure our speakers' and attendees safety.

If you want to discuss the possibility of a talk please do not hesitate to contact our Speaker Coordinator Kerri Wheeler on CGA@mariecurie.org.uk or 075151 34704.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
