Marie Curie – inMem
As the UK’s leading end of life charity, Marie Curie provides frontline nursing and hospice care, a free support line and a wealth of information and support on all aspects of dying, death and bereavement.
From its earliest days, the Marie Curie Memorial Foundation helped patients who needed nursing at home, starting off in London, and extending further by the end of the 1950s, Marie Curie home nursing was available in nine areas of the UK.
Opening its own research facility in 1962, the charity not only provides the frontline support but as the UK’s leading charitable funder of palliative and end of life care research, Marie Curie works to improve the care and support that people affected by death, dying and bereavement receive.
