Cancer charity hopes to launch new local fundraising group

Marie Curie Cancer Care are looking to set up a new volunteer Fundraising Group in the Spondon and Chaddesden area.

Fundraising Groups make an enormous difference locally by helping to raise the vital funds needed 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 Fundraising Group, volunteers will help by organising fundraising activities and collections in the local community, encouraging new volunteers to help the charity, as well as supporting Marie Curie's major fundraising campaigns such as the Great Daffodil Appeal and Blooming Great Tea Party.
Sarah Battle, Derbyshire Community Fundraiser for Marie Curie Cancer Care, will be holding an information meeting in the area in August/September, bringing together interested individuals that would like to get involved.

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 Sarah Battle, Community Fundraiser for Derbyshire on 0115 938 4827 or sarah.battle@mariecurie.org.uk.
