Marie Curie is looking to improve access to our services. With the cost of living crisis, people find it more difficult to get to the hospice to get the help they need. To improve access to services, we are looking for drivers who will support patients, carers and families of patients in getting to and from the hospice. For many, the prospect of going to an appointment can be quite daunting and having a friendly face can help take their mind off it and give them one less thing to worry about.
About Marie Curie Hospice
Marie Curie provides care and support for people living with any terminal illness, and their families. Last year alone we cared for over 40,000 people across the UK. We can’t do what we do without our supporters, only you can make sure we can continue caring for people living with a terminal illness across the UK.
