Background
Marie Curie Cancer Care is one of the UKs
largest charities. It was established in 1948
the same year as the NHS and marks its 60th
anniversary in 2008.  Employing more than 2,700
healthcare professionals, Marie Curie provides
care to around 27,000 terminally ill patients in
the community along with support for their
families. Marie Curie mainly care for people
with cancer but also for people with other life
limiting illnesses. Their services are always
free of charge to patients and their families,
which means in 2007-08, they need to raise more
than 115 million. The charity is best known for
its network of Marie Curie Nurses working in the
community to provide end-of-life care for
patients in their own homes. They have 10
hospices across the UK, and 2 centres for
palliative care research. Marie Curie also run
the world-renowned Marie Curie Research
Institute, which investigates the causes and
treatments of cancer.

Background
The Marie Curie campaign Supporting the Choice
to Die at Home continues to attract widespread
support from cancer patients and their families,
healthcare professionals and politicians from all
parties. In 2004 Marie Curie launched our first
major palliative care service improvement plan,
the Marie Curie Delivering Choice Programme, to
provide greater choice for patients in end of
life care. The programme has five projects
underway across the UK in Lincolnshire, Leeds,
Tayside (Scotland), Barnet (north London) and
south-east London. Financially, around 70 of
the charitys income comes from generous support
from individuals, membership organisations and
businesses, with the balance coming from the
NHS. Marie Curie also depend on an army of
volunteers to support their work in both care and
fundraising. The daffodil is the emblem of Marie
Curie Cancer Care. Every March Marie Curie run
the Great Daffodil Appeal, with street
collections and other fundraising events
nationwide
