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. By going yellow this March, you will help us be there for more people, to the very end.

  • When you sign up to organise a fundraiser, you'll receive an email from us with all the information you need - this will direct you to our page of downloadable materials, including your step-by-step guide to organising your fundraiser.

    You'll also receive a fundraising pack in the post including a sponsorship form, a collection box and some other bits to help you with your fundraiser.

  • This will arrive in the post around ten days after you sign up. If you think your pack or letter has been lost in the post, please contact our Supporter Relations team by calling 0800 716 146 (Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm) or emailing fundraising@mariecurie.org.uk.

  • However you're choosing to Go Yellow, whether you're organising a bake sale, dressing in yellow, or choosing your own fundraising activity, every penny you raise will make a significant difference. Check out our step-by-step guides and other materials to help you make the most of your fundraising.

    You can get started by creating your JustGiving fundraising page here  .

  • Spread the word far and wide! Download invitations and posters and put them up around your local community, workplace, pubs and businesses.

    As well as sending direct invites to your friends and family, you can also share your JustGiving page on social media or in your group chats or email for extra donations.

    We can't wait to see what fun you get up to, so please do share your stories and photos with @MarieCurieUK  !

  • The easiest place to start is by setting up a JustGiving page   and setting a target amount you aim to raise. Friends and family can donate directly to the page, and you can share it on social media and via WhatsApp to encourage others to donate too.

    You can also personalise your page to share why you're fundraising – read some tips on how to make the most of your fundraising page.

    If you're collecting donations in cash, you will have received a donation and sponsorship form in your pack. If you've misplaced your pack or want to get fundraising right away, you can also download and print a sponsorship form here.  Gift Aid can also be added to donations made on this form.

  • There are a number of ways you can pay in your fundraising!
