New group plea (From Malvern Gazette)

New group plea

5:30pm Monday 19th November 2012 in Letters

I AM writing to call on your readers to help Marie Curie Cancer Care to set up a new volunteer fund-raising group for Malvern.

Fund-raising groups make an enormous difference locally by helping to raise the vital funds we need so that Marie Curie Nurses can continue to provide free care to people with terminal cancer and other illnesses in their own homes.

By being part of Marie Curie’s new fund-raising group, you will help by organising fund-raising activities and collections in the local community, encouraging new volunteers to help the charity, as well as supporting Marie Curie’s major fund-raising campaigns such as the Great Daffodil Appeal and Blooming Great Tea Party.

If you are interested in helping Marie Curie Cancer Care to set up a new volunteer fundraising group, or to find out more about other ways to support the charity, please contact me on 0117 942 7132.
