What a fantastic day at our Morrisons Relay Event at Johnstone Morrisons on 8th August! 🎉

A huge thank you to our incredible Champion Gail, the amazing Morrisons team, volunteers and everyone who came along to support Marie Curie.

The event was packed with fun, including music from a local DJ, a raffle, children's games and a special appearance from Jiggy the Pony 🐴💛

The relay baton was successfully handed over to Paisley Morrisons, who continued their support to Marie Curie!

Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered and helped make the day such a success. Every pound raised helps Marie Curie continue providing expert end of life care and support when it's needed most.

💙 Listening, learning and connecting with communities.

Recently, our Community Engagement Team joined Marie Curie Researcher Caroline Pearce and Volunteer Officer Sara Murray for a fully interpreted session with 24 carers at Cathay House in Edinburgh, hosted by MECOPP.

We shared information about Marie Curie services, listened to carers' experiences and discussed the importance of accessible information and support. Language was highlighted as a key barrier, reinforcing the value of translated resources and interpreter services.

A huge thank you to MECOPP and everyone who took part. Together, we're helping improve awareness and access to palliative and end of life care across Scotland. 💙
