Marie Curie seeks Flintshire volunteers for Daffodil Appeal
Marie Curie is calling on people across Flintshire to volunteer for this year’s Great Daffodil Appeal, which marks its 40th anniversary.
The annual fundraising campaign takes place throughout February and March and involves volunteers distributing the charity’s yellow daffodil pins in return for donations, helping fund end of life care and support.
This year, collections will take place at Morrisons supermarkets between February 23 and March 8, as well as at other locations across the community.
Marie Curie relies on public donations and last year supporters helped the charity provide direct care to more than 42,000 people across the UK.
This included care delivered through its hospices, such as the Cardiff and the Vale Hospice in Penarth, and nursing care provided in people’s own homes.
Funds raised also support the charity’s free information and support line, based in Pencoed, which offers practical and emotional support to people with a terminal illness and those close to them.
The service provides guidance on symptom management, navigating care, financial support including energy bills, and bereavement.
The charity is also the largest charitable funder of palliative care research in the UK and campaigns for improvements in end of life care.
Ahead of the Senedd election in May 2026, Marie Curie Cymru is calling on the next Welsh Government to ensure everyone can access high-quality care in the right place at the right time.
Charlotte Brown, Community Fundraiser for North Wales, said: “We believe everyone deserves expert end of life care. The 40th Great Daffodil Appeal is an easy and fun way to join in and give back to our local communities here across Flintshire whilst also helping us continue to bring vital hospice care to more people.
“Volunteering is so rewarding, and our friendly team will be on hand to support you all the way. They’ll make sure you have everything you need and ensure you have the best possible volunteer experience.
“So why not be part of something amazing in our 40th year and volunteer to collect for the Great Daffodil Appeal this February and March. By giving up your time you’ll be helping Marie Curie continue to provide expert end of life care and support for people with any illness they are likely to die from.”
