Marie Curie group seeks new volunteers

The Spalding Marie Curie fundraising group is seeking new members as well as offering the chance to become a collection box co-ordinator.

A co-ordinator helps look after boxes that are on display in shops, newsagents, chemists, pubs and doctors’ surgeries and also place collection boxes in new locations.

Marie Curie community fundraiser for Lincolnshire Lauren Alexander said: “As a volunteer you’ll help to raise vital money and awareness for Marie Curie.

"We’re appealing for people can spare a few days a year to look after our collections boxes within the local community. For those who would like to be more involved, we have opportunities available to join our local fundraising group, which is a great way to meet new people, have fun and raise vital funds for your local nurses.”

Spalding Fundraising Group chair John Moses added: “It is a privilege to raise money to support our nurses who give such wonderful support to people in need within Spalding area.

"I get an amazing amount of lovely comments from people whose families have been helped and it is their stories that inspire me to do all I can to help.”

Last year, the Marie Curie Nursing Service Lincolnshire cared for over 2,500 patients during the night, providing expert care and support to people living with any terminal illness, and their loved ones, helping them make the most of the precious time they have together.

To become a Marie Curie volunteer, you need to be aged 16 or over.
