VOLUNTEERS are needed to collect funds for Marie Curie in Thornbury.


The charity is seeking helpers to collect for a few hours at Thornbury Garden Centre on September 11 and 12.


Richard Scott, Gloucestershire community fundraiser, said: “Marie Curie provides free high quality nursing to terminally ill patients in their own homes. The money generated by the collection tins will go towards providing care in the local area.


“This is a great opportunity to become part of something that will really make a difference to others.


“By sparing a little time, someone will be doing something extremely worthwhile, whilst also gaining valuable experience in fundraising activities. It is also a great way to meet new people.”
