Who we are and what we do

Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end of life charity. We provide expert hospice care, support over the phone, and we push for a better end of life for all by campaigning and sharing research to change the system.

Whether you have months, weeks or days left to live, we're here for you with clinical and emotional care, supporting you to be comfortable, free of pain and other symptoms, and able to live the best life you can to the end.

We're all unique, and what matters most to you matters most to us. We'll care for you at home and in our hospices, and give you practical and emotional help over the phone and online. We're here for the people closest to you too, right now and in the future.

We provide expert hospice care wherever it's needed – either in a hospice or within the comfort of your own home.

Our nurses, healthcare assistants and other healthcare professionals bring the nursing, clinical and emotional help you need to you, in your home. And we offer support to the people close to you too – from reassurance and practical information to letting them take a break.
“Marie Curie was unlike anyone else on his journey. I'd been doing everything for him and knew exactly how things needed to be done – and Marie Curie just got it immediately. The sense of care they had for Neil; I can't even put it into words.” – Georgina Offord, wife of Neil.

£400 could pay for 18 hours of nursing support in someone’s home through the night, bringing the expert care and comfort families need.

£1,400 funds a Syringe Driver. This is vital medical equipment that provides medication continuously for 24 hours. These are often used in the last few weeks and days of life useful for managing symptoms.

“People deserve to choose how they live, even at the end of their lives. End of life care is important because people deserve dignity. People deserve to spend their final moments as they did when they were full of life.”
