Marie Curie needs people in Northamptonshire to volunteer for this year’s Great Daffodil Appeal

There’s only one chance to give someone the best possible end of life, which is why Marie Curie is calling on the residents of Northamptonshire to support its Great Daffodil Appeal this March by giving up a few hours of their time to distribute the charity’s iconic daffodil pins in exchange for a donation.

Every five minutes, someone dies without the care they need. The Great Daffodil Appeal encourages everyone to wear their daffodil pins and donate to the end of life charity through the month of March to help Marie Curie bring expert end of life care to more people.

The charity’s flagship fundraiser helps raise much needed funds so that Marie Curie Nurses and healthcare professionals can provide expert support and hospice care in the comfort of home and via it’s information and support services.

Marie Curie is dependent on public donations and last year supporters helped the charity provide direct care to almost 40,000 people across the UK via its hospices and through overnight nursing care in people’s own homes.

Money raised also funds the charity’s free support line and webchat which is available to anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from and those close to them. It offers practical and emotional support on everything from managing symptoms, navigating care to financial information, including how to get help with energy bills, and bereavement support.

Abby Lockett, Marie Curie Community Fundraiser for Northamptonshire and Leicestershire, said:
