Marie Curie is the UKs leading

end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in

the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing

and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on

all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement.Our

leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life,

and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best

possible quality of life while living with an illness, theyre likely to die

from.

The care and support we provide is

highly valued by the people we care for and their loved ones, but at present we

are only reaching around 10% of dying people at the end of life.Right now, one in four people in the UK with a terminal illness, do not

get the care or support they deserve at the end of their lives.
