THE mayor of Houghton Regis has called for people to support Marie Curie by making a donation and wearing a daffodil pin this month.
Councillor Andrew Roberts was joined by local fundraiser Christine Brown to launch the charity’s Great Daffodil Appeal on Tuesday February 21.
All money raised from the appeal will go towards caring for people with a terminal illness in their own homes.
Christine said: “Every donation for a daffodil will help us to provide more free nursing care hours, allowing people to spend their final days in the comfort of their own homes surrounded by family and friends.
“Please support Marie Curie Nurses and help us make a difference by making a donation and wearing a daffodil in March.”
Around 70 per cent of the charity’s income comes from the generous support of thousands of individuals.
