The society’s Hour of Need campaign was launched in 2014 with the original aim of raising £500,000 by the end of December 2016. Thanks to the strength of support this was reached early with the society now more than doubling this figure, with the current total standing at more than £1million.

Every £20 raised funds one hour of Marie Curie nursing care and customers and colleagues at the Yorkshire Building Society branch in Eastbourne have so far funded 34 hours of care by contributing £695 to the campaign.
