Right now, too many people are facing their toughest days alone – without the expert medical care they need.
Together we can change this. Marie Curie is the UK's leading end of life charity, caring for all people – whatever the illness. We help relieve pain, offer practical and emotional support, and give loved ones the time to be with one another.
By donating to Marie Curie this Christmas, you could help us give someone the care, comfort and joy they deserve at the end of their life.
"Christmas would have been dark and awful without Marie Curie"
In 2022, Stephen spent his last Christmas at the Marie Curie Hospice, Belfast, surrounded by friends and family. His sister Lucia still takes comfort in his connection to the season and the ways Marie Curie made it feel extra special.
She says, "In the hospice, the nurses helped me decorate a little Christmas tree in his room and put up some bunting and Christmas lights. He loved it. To see Stephen smiling and laughing meant the world.
"Donating to the Christmas appeal makes it possible for Marie Curie to make Christmas that bit more special for another family, struggling with what lies ahead."

Where there's pain, grief and worry, will you help spread care, comfort and joy?
We can only be there for families like Stephen's with your support. By donating today, you can help make sure that more people have care, comfort and joy at the end of their lives.
