Check-in and Chat

If you, or someone close to you, is terminally ill, you might be finding it harder than ever to get the vital support you need right now, and you might be feeling lonely.

Marie Curie's free Check in and Chat service is here for you. It's a telephone service that provides ongoing emotional support with the same person each week, no matter where you live in the U.K. or whether you have accessed support from Marie Curie before.

You can access up to 12-weekly sessions from a trained volunteer, who can provide a listening ear and a safe space to talk. The sessions are confidential and offer a non-judgemental space to discuss feelings and emotions around the person's situation and end of life.

It is not counselling or psychotherapy and may not be suitable for people who need a higher level of support.
