Marie Curie
Every one of us in Northern Ireland will be affected at some point by a terminal illness. But today one in four people don’t get the care and support they need at the end of their lives.
That’s why we’re partnering with Marie Curie, to help them raise funds so their nurses can be there for families when they need them most.
Marie Curie provides care and support for around 2,500 people living with a terminal illness in Northern Ireland each year. They offer expert care and support both at home and in their Belfast hospice.Â
We are delighted to be extending our support to Marie Curie who, like SPAR NI, are there for everyone in the community. Through our partnership we aim to raise both money and awareness for the charity so they can continue to be there for people living with any terminal illness and their families – at home, in hospitals and in hospices.Â
SPAR NI’s annual Blooming Great Summer fundraiser for Marie Curie will celebrate the charity’s 60 years in Northern Ireland, aiming to raise £60,000 in one weekend. From Friday 6th – Sunday 8th June, SPAR stores across Northern Ireland will bring sunshine in-store with a sea of yellow to fundraise for Marie Curie through a variety of events including in-store tea parties, raffles to win hampers packed full of local SPAR goodies, bake sales, guessing games to win teddies and jars of sweets, plus voucher giveaways. Â
