End of life charity, Marie Curie, is calling on people across the Vale of Glamorgan to step into spring next month by completing a daily 10,000 step challenge or take part in a virtual St David’s Day quiz to show support for those impacted by death, dying and bereavement. Marie Curie’s flagship fundraiser the Great Daffodil Appeal - which is reaching its 35th anniversary next month – has, for the first time, had to cancel all of their iconic public collections for the campaign. The charity is facing a potential loss of over £3 million due to this, but is encouraging the people of the Vale to support in a variety of creative ways.
“Never has it been more important to have a well-resourced health and social care service, with a workforce that feels supported and equipped to deliver accessible and value-based end of life care.” The three priority areas and specific actions the charity is calling all political parties to include in their manifestos are: • Welsh Government and NHS Wales must ensure equitable access to palliative care services • The Welsh Government and statutory partners must identify and meet expectations of everyone approaching the end of their life • The Welsh Government and statutory partners must oversee the delivery of a person-centred and universal bereavement service in Wales
