Every minute of every day someone is being cared for by a Marie Curie Nurse

Marie Curie Cancer Care provides high quality nursing care to people with terminal cancer and other illnesses.

Our service is always free to patients and carers. Providing a Marie Curie Nurse in a patient’s home for one hour costs us £20.

We are for patients who wish to spend the end of their lives in the comfort of their own homes, surrounded by the people that matter to them most.

For every family we help, there’s another we can’t. We want to reach these families and to support them at the time when they need it most.

Top tips and must-haves for selecting the best sunglasses: Tints applied to the sunglass lense help absorb light and should also screen out at least 75% of visible light. Although lens colour is a matter of personal preference, there are a couple of colour benefits: Grey coloured lenses have been said to reduce light intensity without altering the colour of objects, providing the most natural colour vision.

Brown tints reduce glare, including the hazy effect created by the blue frequency in sunlight but can distort colours.

Green coloured lenses reduce glare and help filter out some of the blue light and provide good contrast between objects.

Rose coloured lenses are a great choice if you participate in water sports or other outdoor activities, as they allow a good contrast for objects viewed against blue or green backgrounds.
