I AM calling on Hereford Times readers to join the Ledbury Fundraising Group for Marie Curie Cancer Care, which is looking for new members as well as a new secretary.

Being part of the group can make an enormous difference locally by helping to raise the vital funds needed to support Marie Curie nurses, who provide free care to people with terminal illnesses in their own homes.

The Ledbury group organises local fundraising activities and collections, encourages new volunteers to help the charity, as well as supporting Marie Curie’s major fundraising campaigns such as the Great Daffodil Appeal and Blooming Great Tea Party. This year they have even created a Ledbury calendar.

To join your local group or to find out more about the charity, please call Rebecca on 0117 9427132 or email rebecca.dade@mariecurie.org.uk
