"All the nurses and carers are great. It helps just to meet up each week and talk. Thank you all."
Mrs F, Lisburn
Care at the Marie Curie Hospice, Belfast, is always free of charge to patients and their families. But we can only do this thanks to the generosity of our local supporters and volunteers.
We need to raise £3,561 per day to run to run the hospice - and all money raised locally is spent locally.
There are many ways you can help to fundraise for the hospice - either individually, as part of a community group or at work.
However you want to get involved, our fundraising team at the hospice is ready to help.
Contact your local hospice fundraising manager Lesley Wright on 028 9088 2046 or
Every week, volunteers of all ages and backgrounds donate their time to take on roles such as driving patients to appointments, working on reception, helping on the wards or working at a local hospice shop.
Our bereavement services also depend on committed volunteers and many of our complementary therapies are provided by volunteer therapists.
Agreed expenses are reimbursed and we are happy to provide references for prospective employers.
