Wellingborough charity Niamh's Next Step ready, willing and able to help

Founders of a Wellingborough-based charity, taking an enforced break from fundraising, have offered help to people during the coronavirus crisis.

Chris Curry and Sam Curry set up Niamh's Next Step after their youngest daughter Niamh was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2010.

Since her death in 2012, the couple have fundraised tirelessly to help to find a cure for the disease that took her life at the age of five.

Chris Curry said: "It looks like we are going to have some time on our hands so we are more than happy to help if we can.

"We would like to help any elderly or at risk people in the Northamptonshire area who are self-isolating over the next few weeks or months and need any shopping doing or prescriptions collecting to please do get in touch.

"If any of our young, fit friends who have their own transport would like to help please do let us know. The more people we have in local postcode areas the easier it will be for everyone."

Niamh’s Next Step 9th annual charity golf day has been organised for later in the year to try to avoid the coronavirus restrictions.

The tournament will take place on Thursday, October 22 at the Northampton Golf Club in Harlestone.

To volunteer to help the charity or to book a place at the golf day please contact Chris on [email protected] or through the charity's Facebook site Niamhs Next Step Neuroblastoma Cancer Charity.
