As friends we are fundraising as a team for Marie Curie.

The charity provide expert hospice care, comfort and support for those who require it at home or in the community. They are also the UK's leading funder of palative care research.

They rely solely on donations in order to provide their service and any donations you can afford to give would be greatly appreciated.

£17 could help fund a Support Line call or webchat, meaning someone in need can receive practical information and emotional support.

£23 could help fund an hour of expert care and emotional support for someone living with a terminal illness, in the comfort of their own home.

£120 could help fund heating in a hospice for a day.

£207 could help fund nine hours of overnight nursing care in someone's home.
