The Traitors star Mollie Pearce has appeared in a series of videos alongside Marie Curie nurses as they prepare for a day working in end of life care to help spread awareness.
The disability model and healthcare assistant was the runner-up on the second season of the BBC One reality show, which aired earlier this year.
The video series is a twist on the #GRWM (Get Ready With Me) TikTok social media trend, aiming to raise young people’s awareness and understanding of the importance of end of life care.
In the footage, Pearce speaks to 24-year-old nurse and part time makeup and henna artist Zeb Un-Nisa Ali, and Rachel Scott, 34, who works at Durham Urgent Hospice Care at home team.
The reality star also interviews Catherine Jones, a 27-year-old senior nurse from South Wales who provides training to care homes on end of life care.
“It’s been a privilege to be able to talk to some of Marie Curie’s wonderful nurses and get a better understanding of the care and support they offer to not just their patients, but their loved ones too,” Pearce said.
“What they do daily is incredible, but it’s something that so many of us don’t even consider until we’re so much older.
“And yet getting the right end of life care isn’t just important to those dying, but to the people left behind, like their children and grandchildren.
“I certainly wasn’t aware of how urgent the need is for better end of life care.”
The series has been created to support Superdrug’s new “Purchase for Marie Curie Nurses” campaign, where proceeds from selected products will be donated to the UK’s leading end of life charity.
The campaign aims to raise £200,000 to fund 10,000 hours of Marie Curie’s vital nursing service.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
