Great Daffodil Appeal Street Collection Marie Curie’s largest fundraising campaign returns this March. More collectors than ever are needed this year to collect coins and hand out daffodil pins. Being a collector is a great way to help Marie Curie nurses provide care for people with terminal illnesses, and support their families through difficult times. Every £20 collected pays for an hour of nursing care. The money raised in 2014 has provided funding for 413,000 hours. This year the Hawes collection will be held on Tuesday, 31st March.
