People at the end of life should be making memories with loved ones, not worrying about money.

A huge thank you to Helen for raising awareness of @mariecurieuk's Dying in Poverty report this morning on @GMB. With 300 people dying in poverty every single day in the UK, something has to change.

To help bring about that change, sign our petition: https://t.co/cFcSosDf4L

[Good Morning Britain @GMB]

Terminally ill people of working age with less than a year to live should receive discounted energy bills & a pension-style income.

The call from Marie Curie comes as figures show the number of people dying in poverty has increased by almost a fifth over the last 4 years.

💬🚨 "Excellent end of life care is possible, but our new report shows too few are getting it."

Our Better End of Life report shows access to high-quality palliative and end of life care is patchy, inconsistent and inequitable. But better care is possible.

Tofersen is an effective new treatment for those with the SOD1 genetic variant of motor neurone disease.

It works. It can slow progression of their #MND.

Join the community and call for NICE to make an exception to its normal criteria. Sign our petition below.

Making decisions about end of life care can be really difficult, but these will be some of the most important decisions we make.
Have your say on our Palliative and End of Life Care strategy, so we can make sure it reflects the needs of local people. https://t.co/ERpIgqfj61

Incredibly sad news - Euan changed so much for people living with #MND in Scotland, and around the world 💙

@Nats312 @UKChange Hi Natalie, I'm working with @mariecurieuk on a report into the financial impact of living with a life limiting illness, which you might be interested in being involved in. Would you be able to follow me back please so that I can DM you with more information? Thanks so much 💛

[Em (she/her) @EmilyRich3s]

@Bubblejet Hi, thanks for your message. I work in the Stories team at Marie Curie. We're working on a report about people with life-shortening illnesses falling below the poverty line. I can see you've tweeted about this before. Would you be happy to follow me back so that I can DM you?

Has the mystery old £20 note donor struck again? 💷
In April, we reported that someone had anonymously gifted the RNLI in Portishead £1100.

Now, Marie Curie in Bristol have received £1000 in old £20 notes - could it be from the same person? What an amazing thing to do! 🥹

[Marie Curie @mariecurieuk]

This election, dying matters.

✍️ Today, our CEOs have written to @RishiSunak, @Keir_Starmer, @StephenFlynnSNP, @EdwardJDavey and other leaders, urging them to fix the crisis in end of life care.

Terminally ill people, and their loved ones, deserve better. #DMAW24
