Story

I'm taking part in the 7.5km Bosphorus Cross Continental Swim on the 20th August 2023 in order to raise funds for Marie Curie. Please donate what you can and thank you in advance!

Marie Curie have been caring for local people in this way for more than 50 years, now. Every single day at the hospice is an extraordinary day.

They listen, support and give high-quality care during what can be a difficult, challenging and distressing time. And we get to know people as individuals, find out what makes them happy, and help to make those things happen.

That might mean sitting with them in the hospice garden, or arranging for their pet to visit them at the hospice. We focus on the special things that bring people joy.

We also provide important support for carers and families, including bereavement support and counselling.

We need to raise £6,150 per day to run the hospice, so every penny counts. Thank you for helping to make sure more people with a terminal illness in and around Belfast, get the care and support they need.
