Save the Date - National Day of Reflection & Great Daffodil Appeal 2023

Press release published

For the third year running, Marie Curie will be leading the National Day of Reflection on Thursday 23rd March 2023. A unique day for everyone to remember loved ones who have died, support people who are grieving and connect with each other.

On the day there will be a minute's silence at noon, a nationwide network of Walls of Reflection and a series of grief-themed online events.

Taking place on the third anniversary that the UK went into lockdown, the National Day of Reflection raises awareness of the impact of grief on our lives and of the need for better support.

Millions of people across the UK – adults as well as children – are feeling grief right now and need support, whether in the workplace, at home, in schools or across communities.

The National Day of Reflection also ties in with the charity's flagship annual fundraising appeal in March – the Great Daffodil Appeal – with people donating and wearing one of their iconic daffodil pin badges.

Every year thousands of supporters from across the UK come together to raise money to support the charity's nurses, doctors, and hospice staff so they can continue to provide expert care to people at end of life, and their families.
