Major gifts

Why give a major gift?

Estimates suggest that up to 90% of people who die may need palliative care, yet only around 50% receive it. Your support can help people living with a terminal illness and their loved ones make lasting memories in a place where they feel safe and comfortable.

Whether that's in one of our hospices across the UK or in the place they call home, you can help people to get the best possible experience at the end of their life, reflecting what's most important to them. This means having the right care, support and assistance in place so that people feel protected and cherished in the last months, weeks, days and hours of their lives.

At Marie Curie we greatly appreciate any gift you can give. We define a gift of £5,000 or more to be philanthropic. Whether you're a Trust or Foundation looking for more information about giving a grant, you're interested in giving a philanthropic gift as an individual or a family, or you'd like further information about the impact your support can make, get in touch today and speak to a member of the Philanthropy team.

As soon as the nurses came through the door, I just sighed this breath of relief. My mum could help with the girls, but no one else could help with Dean. I just remember thinking, thank goodness.

Marie Curie being in the house meant I could spend some time with the girls, or I could go on a dog walk on my own and have a cry without anyone seeing me. Having Marie Curie was such a blessing.
