Formby, Marie Curie urgently needs YOUR help!

As the first daffodils of the year start to bloom, terminal illness charity Marie Curie is asking people who live in Formby to volunteer to collect for its Great Daffodil Appeal this March.

Fundraiser Antony Jones said: “We need collectors to help with the Formby Street collection which will take place on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th March.

Every Daffodil Counts, and volunteering just two hours of your time by signing up to a collect will help Marie Curie to continue to provide care and support to people living with all terminal illnesses, and provide support for their families.

Formby Marie Curie shop manager Vicky Hall said: “Staff and volunteers from both the Marie Curie Formby Shop and the local Formby Fundraising Group will be helping with the collection, but we still need more people to make this year’s daffodil collection the biggest and best to date.”

If tee dates don’t suit you, there are lots of opportunities to collect nearby.

You can sign up to collect online at: mariecurie.org.uk/daffodil or call 0151 801 1412.

The Great Daffodil Appeal is Marie Curie’s biggest annual fundraising campaign, which takes place throughout March, but the charity needs people to sign up to volunteer now.
