About Marie Curie Cancer Care

“We provide care and support for more than 40,000 terminally ill people and their families in the UK each year.

Our nurses work night and day, in people’s homes across the UK, providing hands-on care and vital emotional support. Our hospices offer specialist round-the-clock care. And we help people throughout their illness by giving practical information, support from trained volunteers and being there when someone wants to talk.”

Marie Curie Nurses

If ever faced with a terminal illness, most of us would choose to die peacefully, in our own homes, surrounded by the people that mean the most to us. Marie Curie Nurses make this possible. There are nearly 2,000 Marie Curie Nurses working across the UK, caring for terminally ill people in their own homes.

Last year, Marie Curie nurses provided more than 1.3 million hours of nursing to 31,558 people, as well as supporting their families at an incredibly difficult time.

Marie Curie Hospices

There are nine hospices that offer round-the-clock, expert care and support, in a friendly, welcoming environment, both for people staying in the hospices and those who come in for the day to use our services.

Last year, the hospices helped 8,931 people –  the largest provider of hospice beds outside the NHS.

Help make Marie Curie services better for you

“If you want to tell us what you think of our hospice and home nursing services, this is where you can have your say and make a real difference.

The majority of our patients and their families tell us that they are very happy with our care. However, we know that there are times when we get it wrong. We need your help in suggesting improvements, so that we can make things even better.”

Donate to Marie Curie during the Great Daffodil Appeal

Every year, during the Great Daffodil Appeal, millions of people across the UK donate to show their support for Marie Curie’s work. Your donation will help the nurses care for someone living with a terminal illness at home, so they can spend more time with the people they love.
