Volunteers are needed to help collect vital cash for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

The charity wants help with its Christmas Collection Appeal at six festive fundraisers across Huddersfield during November and December.

The cash is used to provide one-to-one nursing care for terminally ill people in their own homes.

Last year Christmas Collections in West Yorkshire raised over £8,000, which funded more than 400 hours of one to one home nursing care.

Fundraiser Katie Grinter said: “The reaction you get from the general public when you collect at Christmas is wonderful and it’s a fantastically rewarding way to spend just a couple of hours of your time.

“Every donation collected will help us provide even more hours of nursing care and now more than ever we need your support to ensure we are able to care for even more terminally ill patients in their own homes when they, and their families, need our support most.

“So please get in touch if you are able to give up a couple of hours of your time this Christmas. Call us today in the local office on 01274 386 190 to book on a collection near you.”
