COVID won’t wilt Marie Curie’s Great Daffodil Appeal as the charity urges supporters in Dorset to spring into action. End of life charity Marie Curie is calling on residents of Dorset to support its flagship fundraising campaign, the Great Daffodil Appeal – which is reaching its 35th anniversary next month – and has, for the first time, had to cancel all of their iconic public collections for the campaign. After an extremely difficult 12 months, the charity is facing a potential loss of over £3 million due to the cancelled public collections but has a variety of creative ways that people in Dorset can support the campaign this year including donning their trainers and ‘stepping up for Marie Curie’ by walking 10,000 steps every day throughout March.
END of life charity Marie Curie is calling on residents of Dorset to support its flagship fundraising campaign which has to be run differently this year for the first time in its history. The charity’s Great Daffodil Appeal – which is reaching its 35th anniversary next month – will not involve any public collections due to the pandemic. This means the appeal could take a big hit, so people are being urged to step up and support the cause. The charity is facing a potential loss of more than £3 million due to the cancelled public collections but has a variety of creative ways that people can support the campaign, including donning their trainers and ‘stepping up for Marie Curie’ by walking 10,000 steps every day throughout March.
