Marie Curie is appealing for local volunteers to help raise vital funds to support people in Cornwall living with a terminal illness and their families.

Lynda Thomas, Marie Curie Community Fundraiser for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly said: ’Without our amazing volunteers we could not support as many people with a terminal illness and their families as we do. We have over 7,200 volunteers across the UK in community fundraising and retail, but we are always looking for extra help. The more volunteers we have, the more we can achieve.

’Whether you’re a seasoned fundraiser, have experience of working in retail or are a complete newcomer looking to get involved for the first time, we would love to hear from you.’
