Collecting for Marie Curie

Prepare to have bucketloads of fun!

A typical two-hour collection shift raises £85. That’s enough to fund almost four hours of expert nursing care or five calls to our Support Line, so every shift can make a real difference. In 2024, our Great Daffodil Appeal collections raised almost £1.3m and we need your support to raise even more this year.

How your collection will help

There’s only one chance to give someone the best possible end of life. But every five minutes, someone dies without the care and support they need. And demand for end of life care is rising. Your collection helps us make sure that we can be there for more people at the end of their lives, in their homes and in our hospices.
