Nottinghamshire needs more Judiths

Local Fundraising Appeal -Kent needs more Frankys

Judith is one of 36 Marie Curie Nurses in Nottinghamshire providing a free nursing service for people who want to be cared for at home at the end of their lives.

She and her colleagues have never been busier… and that’s why Marie Curie Cancer Care needs to fund more local nurses like Judith. Last year, Marie Curie Nurses provided more than 21,000 hours of nursing care in Nottinghamshire – providing care for more than 350 terminally ill people.

As demand for our nursing service continues to grow, we expect these numbers to rise still further in the next 12 months. We need to raise £316,000 to provide the service, so that’s why we’ve launched our first ever local Marie Curie Nursing Appeal.

Judith can't do it without you
