‘Your generosity means we raised a fantastic amount and saw more people wearing daffodils.

‘Every penny from our daffodil pins really does count towards the care and support that Marie Curie is able to provide for all those affected by terminal illness.

‘We are also grateful to our Southsea shop team and members of Marie Curie’s Portsmouth Fundraising Group who helped with the collections on the day.’
