For DUCFS 2026, we are very proud to be partnering with Marie Curie in the North East, helping them to support those with terminal illnesses within our local community.

We’re supporting two North East–based Marie Curie projects: the Companion Volunteer Service and the North East Clinical Educator Role. Together, they strengthen Marie Curie’s leading end-of-life care by providing personal support for individuals and professional training for staff.

We will also be supporting DUCFS Launchpad, our creative outreach platform. Through a series of projects focused on local community, arts, and music, Launchpad aims to ignite change in the North East.
