Marie Curie (charity)
Marie Curie is a registered charitable organisation in the United Kingdom which provides hospice care and support for anyone with an illness they are likely to die from, and those close to them, and campaigns for better support for dying people. It was established in 1948, the same year as the National Health Service (NHS).
In the financial year 2021/22, the charity supported 66,024 people through its nursing services, hospices and support line calls. It runs nine hospices in Belfast, Bradford, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hampstead, Liverpool, Newcastle, and the West Midlands. The charity's information and support service was used more than 1.2 million times.
Marie Curie campaigns on issues affecting people with any illness they're likely to die from, their families and carers, and it's the largest charitable UK funder of palliative and end-of-life care research.
The Marie Curie Hospital was founded in Hampstead, North London in 1930. It was staffed entirely by women to treat female cancer patients using radiology and had some research facilities too. A successful scientist, Marie Curie gave the hospital permission to use her name.
In 1944, most of the hospital was destroyed in an air raid during the Second World War. Four years later, Bernard Robinson OBE and a committee set about re-establishing the hospital and decided to separate it from the newly formed NHS. This was the beginning of the Marie Curie Memorial Foundation − a charity which began by dedicating itself to caring for people with cancer, and today has evolved into the leading UK end of life charity for people with any terminal illness including motor neurone disease, Parkinson's and Dementia.
Marie Curie charity was founded in 1948. The charity continued to use the name of scientist Marie Curie, with permission from her daughter Eve.
Following the donation of an engagement ring to help raise money for the charity, the very first appeal was launched and brought in a substantial £4,000.[citation needed]
Marie Curie Nurses and Health Care Assistants provide home hospice care for thousands of people with terminal illnesses across the UK every year. This includes managing their pain, and providing practical care and giving emotional support. Marie Curie's nursing service also provide practical and emotional support for families and carers.
