A new fundraising group to support the UK’s leading end of life charity Marie Curie has been created in Scarborough.
The Scarborough Marie Curie Fundraising Group say they will play an important role locally in raising awareness and funds for Marie Curie and are looking forward to holding their first event. The group will also take part in national Marie Curie fundraising campaigns such as the Great Daffodil Appeal and other yearly collections.
Amelia Forrest, Marie Curie Community Fundraiser for Scarborough, said:
“Our volunteers tell us how much satisfaction they get from giving even a small amount of time but helping make a huge difference in their local community. I’d urge anyone interested in hearing more to get in touch. With the continued support from the people of Scarborough we can help more people have the best possible end of life, wherever they are and whatever their illness.”
“This is only a fledgling group with a handful of members so we’re keen to hear from potential volunteers who can take part or help us organise various events around Scarborough, as well as supporting Marie Curie’s major fundraising campaigns such as the Great Daffodil Appeal.
“Volunteering is not only a great way of giving something back to the community, it’s also a chance to meet new people and make new friends.”
Money raised for Marie Curie helps fund Marie Curie Nurses and Healthcare professionals who provide expert hospice care to people in the comfort of their own home in Scarborough, and support those close to them.
The Marie Curie free Information and Support which is available to anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from and those close to them. It offers practical and emotional support on everything from symptom management and day-to-day care to financial information and bereavement support.
