The first was launched in Lincolnshire in October 2004, the second in Tayside (Scotland) in December 2005, the third in Leeds in May 2006 and the fourth in Barnet (north London) in March 2007. The fifth, and biggest ever project in the programme, was launched in September 2007 in south-east London, while the sixth project is based in Somerset.
Each project is undertaken in three phases:
Working in partnership with a range of local service providers - including the NHS, social services and the voluntary sector - each project aims to complete all three phases within a three year period.
The Marie Curie Delivering Choice Programme projects provide excellent opportunities to test and implement new ways of delivering service in a range of different environments: urban and rural settings, areas of deprivation and contrasting prosperity, and ethnically diverse communities.
