SIR – I am appealing for the community of Worcester to support Marie Curie Cancer Care this Christmas by giving up just two hours of their time.

We are holding a collection at Tesco, St Peter’s, on December 4 and need collectors to cover a two-hour shift during the day. It is a great way to raise money to care for terminally ill patients in Worcester.

Marie Curie Cancer Care provides high quality nursing, totally free, to give terminally ill people the choice of dying at home supported by their families.

If you would like to join our collection team and offer a few hours of your time, please contact the local fund-raising office on 0117 9427132 where we would be delighted to hear from you.

Richard Scott,
Community fund-raiser – Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester.
