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.
