Summary:

This report is the third produced by the Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University. In 2021, Marie Curie commissioned the Centre to examine the number and proportion of people who spend the last year of their lives in poverty in the UK. This led to Marie Curie’s landmark report, Dying in Poverty, in 2022, which set out the findings using data from 2019 and made a series of policy recommendations. In 2024, we published the first of three planned updates to this research. This provided an update to the analysis of poverty using data from 2023, and for the first time, provided estimates of fuel poverty at the end of life. This second update uses figures from 2024, and provides deeper analysis in a number of areas.
