💛 What can caring for people at the end of life teach us about living well? 💛

You might have spotted some of our Expert Advice Series being featured in The Irish News! 📰✨

This week, our Hospice Nurse and Clinical Educator, Catrina, shares what caring for people at the end of life has taught her about living:

🌻 Celebrate the ordinary moments
❤️ Relationships matter most
🐾 Never underestimate the joy a pet can bring
✨ What makes you you matters until the very end
💛 Kindness is never forgotten

Catrina said "Working at Marie Curie has taught me that dying doesn’t stop someone from living. Our patients continue to love, celebrate, laugh, parent and fulfil their dreams. They remind us that a meaningful life isn’t measured by what we accumulate, but by the moments we share and the people we love." 💛

⚽💛 We are excited to be collecting at Derry City's home match this evening as they officially launch their partnership with Marie Curie! 💛⚽

Before kick-off, local Marie Curie Nurse Tanya Boggs will have the honour of presenting the match ball to the officials in front of the Mark Farren Stand.

Sheena Havlin, Community Fundraiser, said: "Alongside fundraising opportunities, this partnership will give us many new opportunities to increase our profile and visibility across the city as we collaborate with both the men's and ladies' teams. We have enjoyed getting to know everyone and really look forward to working together." 💛

👏 A huge thank you to Derry City Football Club for their support and commitment to Marie Curie. We are excited about what we can achieve together for people living with a terminal illness and their families.

🍀 Good luck to the team as they take on Waterford this evening! ⚽

📺 You might have spotted our Head of Policy, Joan McEwan, on the news yesterday 👇

Joan was speaking about new research from Marie Curie, highlighting the growing pressure on emergency services — with around 1 in 5 calls to the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service relating to someone in their last year of life 🚑💛

👉 We’re calling for:
💛 More investment in community-based palliative care
🔗 Better coordination across services
👏 Greater support for frontline staff
While there are challenges, at Marie Curie we’re committed to building on the positive progress already happening

We’ll continue using this research to help create a system that truly supports people at the end of life — and those caring for them 💛🏡

This week is Volunteers’ Week and we’d like to say a huge thank you to all of our fantastic Marie Curie volunteers who support our work across Northern Ireland ⭐️

We hosted some of our volunteers at the hospice yesterday for a fun afternoon with a quiz and BBQ, and to hear from some of our staff about the impact of their efforts.

We’re so lucky to have so many volunteers who are passionate about what we do at Marie Curie - we couldn’t do what we do without you! 🌼

Thank you once again to all of our volunteers, you are incredible! 💛

It was so lovely to welcome some of the stars of Blue Lights to the Marie Curie Hospice in Belfast last week as filming wrapped on the fourth season of the critically acclaimed police drama 🤩

Actors Richard Dormer, Sîan Brooke, Katherine Devlin, and Joanne Crawford as well as series co-creator Declan Lawn and executive producer Stephen Wright, spent time speaking with patients and staff at the hospice, hearing about the services provided at the hospice and how the series has been a firm favourite among patients 💛

It was a real treat for our patients and staff to meet with the Blue Lights team💛

You can read more about the visit online in the Belfast Telegraph.

We were also treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of the distillery, discovering the rich history of the building and the story of whiskey-making in Northern Ireland 🤩

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to the team at Titanic Distillers for all their help at the event!
