Marie Curie Cancer Care is appealing for people in West Yorkshire to donate an hour of their time this March to collect for the charity’s annual Great Daffodil Appeal.
The appeal is Marie Curie’s biggest fundraiser, which encourages everyone to give a donation and wear a daffodil pin in March.
The charity needs volunteer collectors to encourage people in the local community to wear a daffodil pin and give a donation. The money raised will help Marie Curie Nurses to provide more free care to local people with terminal illnesses in their own homes.
Katie Grinter, Community Fundraiser for Marie Curie Cancer Care in West Yorkshire, said: “We need volunteers from West Yorkshire to help with our collections this March. Donating just one or two hours of your time to the appeal will allow Marie Curie Nurses to provide more free care to terminally ill people and their families at the time when they most need support.”
As well as local volunteer collectors, Marie Curie will be supported by the Lions Clubs of the British Isles and Ireland in March, with hundreds of collections being held by Lions Club members across the country on behalf of the charity.
To volunteer to collect for Marie Curie Cancer Care and support the Great Daffodil Appeal call Katie Grinter on 01274 386190 or visit www.mariecurie.org.uk/daffodil.
