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. Your fundraising 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 resources.

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 a week 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.

Whether you're organising a bake sale, taking on a sponsored walk, gathering friends for bingo or turning your unwanted items into cash, every penny you raise will make a significant difference. You can get started by creating your JustGiving fundraising page here  .

Spread the word far and wide! 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!

Online

Create a JustGiving page   for your fundraising. Link your fundraising page to your Twitter or Facebook account and you'll reach even more people.

By post

Complete the banking form, including your credit/debit card details, or pop a cheque or postal order (made payable to Marie Curie) in the post to:

Marie Curie UK Fundraising

PO Box 23897

Edinburgh EH6 9AB

Please include a note with your full name and how the funds were raised, so that we can say thank you for your brilliant support.

By phone

Call us on 0800 716 146 (Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm) and tell us that you want to pay in money and what fundraising activity you held.

There isn't a deadline for when to fundraise for Marie Curie, however, we expect most fundraising events to take place for the Great Daffodil Appeal in March, so please be sure to sign up once you know what you'd like to do. We also have lots of helpful hints and tips and materials to help support your fundraising activity. Sign up today!

This can be found on the letter we posted out to you. If you no longer have the letter, you can find this out by asking your Community Fundraiser, or by getting in touch with our Supporter Relations team at 0800 716 146 (Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm) or fundraising@mariecurie.org.uk.

Our team would be happy to help. Simply call 0800 716 146 or email us at fundraising@mariecurie.org.uk.
