I AM writing to call on readers to help Marie Curie Cancer Care to set up a new volunteer fundraising group for Tavistock, Yelverton and surrounding areas.

Fundraising 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 fundraising group, you 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.

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 Washington on 01884 703535 or email [email protected]">[email protected]
