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.
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.
Fundraising from SPAR NI store teams and shoppers has broken through the milestone amount of £1,000,000 for Marie Curie, enabling even more community nursing for those who need it the most.
The partnership between SPAR NI and Marie Curie NI has been active since 2017 and has seen the retail brand put its full support and its own creative ideas behind some of Marie Curie’s biggest and most iconic campaigns, including The Great Daffodil Appeal and Blooming Great Tea Party.
It was the recent Blooming Great Tea Parties in-store which raised £52,975 and pushed the fundraising total to £1,024,167.
Hear from the Marie Curie Nurses about the hours of care, the moments of comfort, and the nights spent supporting people and families at home, when they need it most.
