LIONS clubs in Cornwall will be supporting Marie Curie Cancer Care's biggest annual fundraising campaign, the Great Daffodil Appeal, during March.

The appeal encourages everyone to give a donation and wear the charity's iconic daffodil pin. Lions clubs members will support the appeal for the next three years.

Every £20 raised will to help fund an hour of Marie Curie nursing care, which is provided free of change to people with terminal cancer and other illnesses in their own homes.

Lynda Thomas, community fundraiser at Marie Curie Cancer Care said: 'We are very excited to have support from our local Lions clubs. As an organisation that works to serve the community, we're confident they will help make this year's Great Daffodil Appeal the best yet

'However, we still need many more volunteers in Cornwall — so please get in touch if you have an hour to spare in February or March. Just one or two hours of your time will help Marie Curie nurse more local people with terminal illness.'
