💛Funerals are important but expensive. Thousands are being denied a Funeral Expenses Payment each year, at a time when funeral costs have skyrocketed. That's why Marie Curie is proud to support the 'Grief is hard enough: Fix the FEP' campaign. (2/3)

No one should have to worry about if they can afford to pay the bills when they are living with a terminal illness.

The introduction of this scheme will mean that any household in Barnsley where someone is living with a terminal illness will have their council tax bill waived.

This will support so many people facing financial pressures during an already difficult period.
