💛A great big thank you!💛

We are so excited to celebrate with SPAR NI on reaching the £1 million fundraising milestone for Marie Curie.

Marie Curie have been SPAR NI's charity partner since 2017 and we have received fantastic support from SPAR stores across Northern Ireland, particularly during the Great Daffodil Appeal and Blooming Great Tea Party.

Fundraising is led by local retailers, store managers and their teams who value and enable accessible services for their neighbourhoods, which includes care from Marie Curie community nurses.

Thank you so much to everyone at SPAR NI who has supported the fundraising for Marie Curie, we are grateful for your support and fundraising efforts which have such an impact on our services.

Yesterday, The National Trust team at Mount Stewart hosted the Marie Curie Walk and Talk Bereavement support group for a daffodil planting session 🌼

For many years, Mount Stewart had a memory tree with little ribbons and tags with messages people had written for their loved ones, unfortunately the tree was damaged in a storm earlier in the year and so Mount Stewart kindly gave a small area of their gardens for daffodils to be planted 💛

Marie Curie Bereavement Support Volunteer, Helen Laird, organised a lovely morning where some of the Marie Curie and Mount Stewart teams read some reflective poems before we headed out to the gardens to plant plenty of daffodils.

Thank you to the team at Mount Stewart - National Trust for hosting us all, particularly Robert, Andrew and the volunteer gardeners for keeping everyone right in our planting techniques 👨‍🌾

Thank you as well to SPAR NI Carrowdore for providing buns and biscuits to have with the refreshments.

This week is Will to Give week, organised to encourage people to consider leaving a gift to charity in their Will.

As part of the week of events, colleagues from the Marie Curie Legacy Administration team led a presentation around how our Legacy team works and provided an opportunity for local charities to discuss best practice and how to get the most out of their legacy fundraising.

Thank you to Will to Give for inviting Marie Curie colleagues to talk at this event and thank you to Cleaver Fulton Rankin for hosting us.

You can find out more information on leaving a gift in your Will to Marie Curie on our website or get in touch with our Legacy Lead, Deborah McWhirter via email deborah.mcwhirter@mariecurie.org.uk.

Thank you to Bex Yendall who recently shared her story of losing her beloved mum, Karen to cancer in July 2024, aged just 56 in the Belfast Telegraph - https://tinyurl.com/3dwusnmy

Bex’s mum received care in the Marie Curie Hospice Belfast for two short inpatient stays. Bex said ‘The Marie Curie staff couldn’t have done enough for her and made sure the tradition of a Thursday night ‘date night’ with my dad continued while she was in the hospice.’ ❤

“Not long after mum passed away, I saw the ‘Twilight Walk’ advertised. Initially I was unsure about it as I thought it might be full of doom and gloom, but I’m so glad I registered to take part. The event was filled with music and the atmosphere was so uplifting. They’d organised choir singers along the trail, and people had brought their dogs. The mood was very upbeat and there was a real sense of togetherness in being with other people who were also there to remember their lost loved ones.” 💛

This year, Bex is attending Twilight Walk to support her cousin, who is fundraising in memory of her auntie, Bex’s mum. 💛

There is still time to register for this year’s Twilight Walk on Saturday 27th September, just 3 weeks today! 🚶🏻‍♀️🎆
