COLLECTIONS will be held in Kendal to mark the Marie Curie Great Daffodil Appeal.

There will be a street collection on March 4 and a collection in Morrisons in Kendal on March 10, 11 and 12.

In the past Marie Curie has been primarily associated with Cancer Care, but in recent years the charity has widened its brief. The nurses are there to look after patients with any terminal illness and help and support their families, either by providing free care to the patient in their own home or at one of Marie Curie's wonderful hospices. The charity also provides help and support in many other ways.

All the money raised locally stays locally.

If anyone would like to help with collecting, either visit mariecurie.org.uk/daffodil or call 08003047025.
