The Marie Curie Hospice in Liverpool (Woolton) is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary.

They are keen to raise awareness of their services and hopefuuly get businesses to adopt them as their corporate sponsored charity for 2010. They are especially interested in the possibility of working with businesses who also might be celebrating 50 years activity (although this isn’t necessary).

Marie Curie Cancer Care relies heavily on support from local people/companies to enable them to maintain their vital services to local people with cancer.

It costs more than £4.7 million a year to run the Marie Curie Hospice Liverpool, with less than 50% coming from the NHS, the rest being dependent on fundraising.  The hospice provides specialist medical and nursing care, with the expert help of multi-disciplined healthcare professionals, to over 1,120 local cancer patients each year.  This care is provided through In-patient, Out-patient and Day Care services, and a more recently developed community outreach service, giving more people affected by cancer access to Marie Curie Services.

They focus on providing the best possible quality of life for people with cancer and all services are provided free of charge to patients and their families.
