For the tenth day of Civil Society Media’s 12 Days of Christmas we feature Marie Curie’s… 12 Days of Christmas campaign. Rate the campaign to win a hamper and a free place at one of our events.

Marie Curie has created a digital advent calendar for its 12 Days of Christmas campaign. It features 12 windows that reveal heart-warming stories about Marie Curie nurses and the work they will do in the run-up to Christmas.

Each day has new content with case studies from the charity’s services. Readers get a behind the scenes look at Marie Curie’s information and support line with videos and stories from nurses and beneficiaries who have enjoyed its support.

The campaign aims to raise awareness of the importance of Marie Curie’s services throughout Christmas for people living with a terminal illness.

This Christmas, Marie Curie nurses will work a total of 3,554 nursing shifts, spending time away from their own loved ones so that others can make the most of the time they have together.

The charity’s hospices will continue to offer round the clock care and support for their patients and trained volunteers from the Marie Curie Helper Service will be visiting clients to provide companionship, support and respite for their main carers.

This is also the first year of Marie Curie's support line which will remain open throughout Christmas, including Christmas day and boxing day, to provide free, confidential support and practical information about living with a terminal illness.
