Marie Curie sees a world of opportunity and inclusion where everyone is able to fully thrive in every aspect of their lives, and we actively strive to make that happen in and through our organisation. We want every part of Marie Curie to be a place where everyone feels accepted, respected, valued, and heard – whether they’re staff, volunteers, supporters or the people we help.
There is no place for racism in our charity.
There is no place for racism in our charity.
We will not tolerate racial discrimination from our service users, members of our staff, or our volunteers. We invite anyone who has experienced or witnessed discrimination within Marie Curie to raise this with us (safely and confidentially), and we promise to investigate and take appropriate action.
As a charity committed to ensuring everyone gets the best possible end of life experience, we cannot be silent about racial inequality. We know from our research that access to end of life care – as well as outcomes and experience – are not equal for all people. Our charity, our sector and our society need to work at pace to tackle these issues.
To serve our mission, we must attract and develop the best talent, and to do so, we need an environment that champions inclusion and values the moral imperative and organisational benefits of the fullest diversity of society and lived experience.
We know that there are issues that bind all people facing prejudice, and we are therefore committed to working for equality, diversity and inclusion more widely at Marie Curie and to address intersectionality. Everyone, regardless of who they are, should be able to be their best selves without fear of discrimination or judgement.
