Frequently asked questions

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.
