MARIE Curie Cancer Care is looking for people in Somerset to donate an hour or two to come and collect in their local supermarket or town centre.

The Great Daffodil Appeal is the charity’s biggest annual fundraising campaign, and we are running 140 collections across Somerset and Dorset so there is likely to be one local to you.

The charity needs volunteers to encourage people in the local community to give a donation and wear a daffodil pin.

The money raised from the Great Daffodil Appeal will help Marie Curie Somerset Nurses care for people with a terminal illness in their own home so they can spend more time with the people they love.

Last year’s Daffodil Appeal was our most successful to date.

Across Somerset and Dorset alone we raised £55,606, funding around 2,780 nursing hours.

We couldn’t do it without our wonderful collectors.

To help us beat last year’s record breaking appeal and to sign up to a collection near to you please visit mariecurie.org.uk/daffodil or call your local office on 01884-703537.
