More information
Marie Curie Cancer Care is one of the UK's largest charities. It was established in 1948 - the same year as the NHS. We mainly care for people with cancer but we also care for people with other life limiting illnesses. Our services are always free of charge to patients and their families. 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. We have nine hospices across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and two centres for palliative care research. We also run the world-renowned Marie Curie Research Institute, which investigates the causes and treatments of cancer.
