Gift Insurance To Raise Funds For Marie Curie Cancer Care

Gift Insurance is very proud to announce that it has signed a five year deal with Marie Curie Cancer Care, to provide much needed funds for the charity.

Marie Curie Cancer Care is one of the UK’s largest charities. It was established in 1948 – the same year as the NHS – and marks its 60th anniversary in 2008. To celebrate this, Gift Insurance is offering the charity’s supporters a competitive deal on their home and motor insurance whilst helping to raise funds for the valuable work Marie Curie Cancer Care does.

The promotion will begin shortly with the distribution of hundreds of thousands of Gift’s free customer information leaflets to Marie Curie Cancer Care supporters via the network of Marie Curie Shops nationwide.

Employing more than 2,700 nurses, doctors and other healthcare professionals, Marie Curie Cancer Care expects to provide care to around 27,000 terminally ill patients in the community and in its hospices this year, along with support for their families.
 
Marie Curie mainly cares for people with cancer but also cares for people with other life limiting illnesses. Their services are always free of charge to patients and their families, which means that in 2007-08, they will need to raise more than £115 million.

The charity is best known for its network of Marie Curie Nurses working in the community to provide end-of-life care for patients in their own homes.

Adam Gregory, Managing Director of Gift Insurance says:

“It’s fantastic that we are able to work alongside a charity like Marie Curie Cancer Care. We are committed to providing another ongoing revenue stream for the charity which will complement its many other fundraising activities. I am confident that many more charities will understand the great benefits of working with us and follow Marie Curie’s lead and recognise that Gift Insurance is unique in the market by choosing to donate half of the commission generated with each insurance policy sale to the customer’s chosen charity.”
