Collecting for Marie Curie

Prepare to have bucketloads of fun

A typical two-hour collection shift raises £85. That's enough to fund almost four hours of expert nursing care or five calls to our Support Line. Every shift helps us be there for people when they need it most. If you'd like to get involved, signing up to collect takes just a few minutes. Simply search your postcode, pick a venue and choose a time that suits you.
