What we do

Marie Curie is here to create a world where, for every life, there’s the goodbye we all deserve.

Expert hospice care for every life, in your home and our hospices

Every life deserves expert care at the end. That’s why our Marie Curie Nurses and healthcare professionals are here for anyone living with an illness they’re likely to die from – in your home and in our hospices. We’ll give you the clinical care and emotional support you need to live as well as you can, right up to the end.

People see the Marie Curie daffodil and they have faith in us. That gives me a massive sense of pride because it means that a lot of people have had a good experience with Marie Curie, and that we are doing what we’re here to do.
It’s such a difficult time for anyone that's come into Marie Curie’s care, and so to know that we give families some comfort – that’s lovely to be a part of.

We’re pushing for a better end of life for all

We campaign and share our research to change the system, leading change across all four UK nations on the issues affecting dying people and those close to them, so more people can access high quality care and support when and where they need it most.

Whatever you’re going through, our Support Line is here

Where your donations go

Last year we delivered over 80,000 episodes of care by our hospice and nursing teams - in people's own homes or in our hospices, from Marie Curie Nurses and Healthcare Assistants.
