" Who we are
We provide care and support for people living with any terminal illness, and their families. We’ve been carrying out this vital work for over 65 years – last year alone we cared for over 40,000 people across the UK."
"Marie Curie has around 2,000 nurses in the UK and last year they worked for 1.2 million hours caring for people living with a terminal illness. We also have nine hospices and are the biggest provider of hospice beds outside the NHS.
In total, Marie Curie spends over £95 million a year on providing nursing and hospice care; research into better ways of caring for people; and work to improve care and support across the UK."
"We offer free nursing care to people with all terminal illnesses across the UK, as well as support for family and friends. Our nurses generally provide one-to-one nursing care and support overnight in your home, usually for eight or nine hours. In some areas, we also offer care for a shorter period of time, or during the evening or daytime, as well as care at very short notice in a crisis."
" What’s the difference between Marie Curie Nurses and Macmillan or other specialist nurses?
Our nurses care for people with all terminal illnesses, including terminal cancer, towards the end of their lives. They generally spend several hours at a time in your home providing care and support, usually overnight.
Macmillan nurses care for people with cancer, from when they’re first diagnosed. They generally spend up to an hour in someone’s home, providing advice on managing pain and controlling symptoms, as well as emotional support."

I know from experience! They helped my husband and I in his final days. Please go to https://www.justgiving.com/music4charity and give whatever you can, and make someone's final days so much more comfortable, and provide support for their loved ones who are so easily forgotten. Kind words, a hug and offer of a cuppa from a Marie Curie Nurse means so much at such a distressing time. Thank you Melanie x |
