MARIE Curie Cancer Care is appealing for volunteers throughout the Leigh area to help its Daffodil Campaign, supported by Yellow Pages, this spring.

The annual campaign sees thousands of fabric daffodils exchanged for donations in support of the local nursing service. Without the support of the community the collections planned throughout the area cannot go ahead.

Area fundraiser Stephen Tongue is pictured in disguise with Astley nurse Barbara Rawlinson urging people to wear a daffodil and help raise funds during March. To find out how you can help make a difference telephone Stephen on 0161 255 2805 or 07798 638 127.
