Last weekend we attended UK Black Pride for the first time! 🎉 Our team had over 400 meaningful conversations, discussing the services we provide and listening to people’s stories. These interactions were not just about information exchange; they were about connecting with the community, understanding their needs, and building trust. What a great event! We're already looking forward to next year. 💛

What is "sadmin" and why does it need to change? 🤔 No one should have to spend so much time and energy wading through piles of admin, especially when they're grieving. Companies must do more to support terminally ill and bereaved customers now. ✍️ If you agree, sign our petition and help us tell companies to make "sadmin" simple. 🔗 bit.ly/3y1eiL1

A big well done to our colleague, Matt, who has completed a 2,200 mile cycling challenge for Marie Curie. 🎉 Matt started in Lands End and visited Wales, the Isle of Man, the Lake District, and Inverness in just two weeks. He said: "This was an incredible personal challenge for me. When I’m cycling, it completely changes my outlook, it takes you so far from everyday life, and you get to switch off from everything. “What’s even better is, I get to raise money for Marie Curie, a charity I’m incredibly proud to say I work for. The care that the doctors, nurses, and healthcare assistants give people in the last weeks, days and hours of life is truly exceptional as well as the support given by our other teams." Well done, Matt 👏
