THE search is on to find volunteers to help Marie Curie raise funds.

The terminal illness charity is appealing for people in Winsford and Middlewich to give two hours of their time to hand out their iconic daffodil pins in return for donations.

The charity’s annual fundraiser, the Great Daffodil Appeal, takes place in March and Marie Curie hopes to get more people than ever wearing the daffodil pin.

Marie Curie community fundraiser for Winsford and Middlewich, Katy Armitage, said: “Donating and wearing a daffodil pin during March unites you with millions of others to help make sure all dying people get the care and support they deserve.

“Volunteering just two hours of your time at a collection near you means that you are raising money to help make sure more dying people get the care and support they need at the end of their lives.

"Collecting is lots of fun, you can do it on your own or with friends and Marie Curie will support you from the moment you sign up.”

Every five minutes, someone in the UK dies without getting the care and support they need at the end of their life.

The money raised from the Great Daffodil Appeal will help the charity provide much-needed expert care to people with terminal illnesses, as well as supporting their families.
