Marie Curie
Over the next five years and beyond, our mission is to close the gap in end of life care. Between now and 2028 we'll design and deliver services providing the best possible care and support to people living with any terminal illness, and those close to them. And we'll play a leading role in shaping the end of life system across the UK; driving research, influencing public policy, campaigning for change, and fighting for better services – so everyone has access to the end of life care and support they need.
ABOUT US: 

Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end of life charity.

Everyone deserves the right support at the end of life. We’re here for anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from, and their family and friends.

Whatever the illness, we’re with you to the end

 

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS: 

We need to close the gap in end of life care and make sure everyone gets the care and support they need. The problem 1 in 4 people don't get the care and support they need. And the problem is growing, fast. People in the UK are living longer, with multiple and more complex health challenges. By 2048, the need for end of life care will have increased by up to 25%. And the people who miss out most are those from disadvantaged and marginalised communities. Our vision Everyone will be affected by dying, death and bereavement. That can't be changed; but the end of life experience can. Everyone deserves the best possible care and support, reflecting what's most important to them. We want a better end of life for all.
