Get in touchFundraising needs to continue, we’d love to work with you
Many clubs, groups and associations of all sizes are returning from lockdown, and finding new ways to support and engage with their members, such as supporting charities that are helping the wider community.
Maybe your club or group already has a partnership with Marie Curie, such as Lions Club or Ladies Circle ? Or, maybe you're part of a local group – like a gardening group or choir – and you're looking for a charity to support?
Whatever your situation, we'd love to work with you to make life better for people living with a terminal illness, and their families.
Why should your club or association support Marie Curie?
We’d love to work with you in a way that benefits both of us. Support us and join our long history of community partnerships with memberships and associations of all kinds and sizes.
As a supporter, you'll get:
- help from a dedicated fundraising team
- free fundraising materials and press releases for your events
- positive association with a top ten recognised charity in the UK
- a chance to raise the profile of your group in your local community.
Invite a volunteer speaker to give a virtual talk
Invite one of our amazing volunteer speakers to your next virtual meeting or event to get key information about Marie Curie, our role during the pandemic and hear inspiring stories about how our expert hospice care at home and in hospices helps families.
