When is marie curie daffodil appeal 2011

No longer just a cancer charity, the money is used by Marie Curie to provide end of life care for anyone regardless of illness. The charity provides care and support for more than 7, people living with a terminal illness in Scotland each year. It has residential hospices in Edinburgh and Glasgow and a team of nurses to provide care for terminally ill people and their families in their homes. It is people you know.

People are still incredibly generous, he says - around 2, have volunteered to do shifts at 5, collection in Scotland so far this year. In fact, this anniversary year might see one of the biggest changes since it scrapped handing out real daffodils in With an ambition one day to become similar in size to the poppy appeal, with almost everyone wearing a daffodil throughout March, the charity is adding ways to how it raises money.

We call it "fundraising my way". You need to allow people to have their own ideas and then support them. Shops have been lined up to pin daffodils on mannequins, hotels are leaving daffodils on pillows, schools are being asked to get involved and celebrities and politicians will tweet their support. One of the challenges for Marie Curie is that the campaign is a whole month. There is not a Great Daffodil day like there is a Children in Need day so trying to create a focus is a challenge.

Whatever the future holds, one thing is for sure it is unlikely the Great Daffodil Appeal will be wilting any time soon.
