Collecting for Marie Curie

The Great Daffodil Appeal means the world to the people we support because it raises vital funds for frontline healthcare. Put simply, Marie Curie Nurses can only deliver care thanks to supporters like you.

But the ongoing disruption to our everyday lives makes it impossible to predict how our collections could be affected across the UK. Especially since many of our volunteers are in a vulnerable category or live with people who are. 

So we’re holding this year’s appeal without public collections.

This means we need your support now more than ever – will you sign up for a virtual collection today to raise money for Marie Curie Nurses from the safety of your own home?

By doing a virtual collection, you play a key role in helping Marie Curie provide much-needed care and support to people living with a terminal illness and their families. 

To give you an idea, here’s what your fundraising could pay for…

• £180 pays for someone with a terminal illness to attend the day therapy unit at the hospice.
• £400 pays for someone to stay in a Marie Curie Hospice for 24 hours, so that they can receive the hands-on care they need in their final days.
• £1,250 pays for a portable oxygen system that will relieve distressing symptoms, so a person doesn’t have to be confined to bed.
