How your fundraising helps
£190 could help fund a day's electricity in a hospice.
£207 could help fund a night's nursing care at home.
£320 could help fund ten hours of bereavement counselling.
£1,400 could help fund a syringe driver to reduce pain.
After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, Brian was cared for at home and in the Marie Curie Hospice, Bradford. His son Michael holds an annual golf day in his memory.
"Fay was his palliative care contact and was brilliant. Weekly visits reassured dad that there was always someone there for him. When times got really bad, Fay was the one pushing for a stay at the hospice to ensure his medication was working correctly.
"My dad loved golf, however he could only play for a couple of years after his diagnosis. There was always something in the back of my mind saying "You need to give something back to Marie Curie, as a thank you". That's when we ran our first golf day. To me, it's the highlight of the golfing calendar."
Frequently asked questions
Why should I fundraise for Marie Curie?
Your fundraising helps Marie Curie provide expert hands-on care in people's homes and in our hospices across the UK. It also helps us provide support over the phone, and push for a better end of life for all by campaigning and sharing research to change the system.
Every pound you raise directly contributes to ensuring that more people can receive the care they need at the most difficult times. Your fundraising will help us be there for more people, to the very end.
What happens after I sign up?
When you sign up to organise a fundraiser, you'll receive an email from us with all the information you need - this will direct you to our page of downloadable resources, including your step-by-step guide to hosting your golf day.
You'll also receive your free and exclusive Marie Curie branded golf marker and fundraising pack in the post to help you with your fundraising!
When will my fundraising pack and golf marker arrive in the post?
This will arrive in the post around ten days after you sign up. If you think your pack has been lost in the post, please contact our Supporter Relations team by calling 0800 716 146 (Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm) or emailing fundraising@mariecurie.org.uk.
How do I fundraise?
Wherever you're teeing off, we want you to get together with your friends and family to raise some funds!
Set up a JustGiving page to share your plans and collect entry fees. Add a target, photo and why you're supporting Marie Curie. You can ask players to donate to take part in your golf day, and collect donations during the event by hosting other fundraising activities in the clubhouse like a bake sale, bingo or quiz. Check out our step-by-step guide and other materials to help you make the most of your fundraising.
Every penny makes a massive difference to people with terminal illness and their families.
How do I promote my fundraiser?
Let everyone know about your fundraiser on social media, WhatsApp groups and email, asking people to sign up or donate. Remember to include your JustGiving link!
You can also download our invitations and posters and put them up around the clubhouse, local sports clubs, pubs and businesses.
We can't wait to see what fun you get up to, so please do share your stories and photos with @MarieCurieUK!
How do I collect donations?
The easiest place to start is by setting up a JustGiving page and setting a target amount you aim to raise. Friends and family can donate directly to the page, and you can share it on social media and via WhatsApp to encourage others to donate too.
You can also personalise your page to share why you're fundraising – read some tips on how to make the most of your fundraising page.
If you're collecting donations in cash, you will have received a donation and sponsorship form in your pack. If you've misplaced your pack or want to get fundraising right away, you can also download and print a sponsorship form here. Gift Aid can also be added to donations made on this form.
How do I pay money in?
There are a number of ways you can pay in your fundraising!
Online
Create a JustGiving page for your fundraising. Link your fundraising page to your X or Facebook account and you'll reach even more people.
