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.
