THE charity Marie Curie is planning to set up a new volunteer fundraising group in the east of York.

Community fundraiser Lizzie Sanders said such a group would help Marie Curie nurses continue to provide free care to people with terminal illnesses in their own homes by organising fundraising activities and collections locally.

Anyone interested in helping set up the new group should call Lizzie on 01904 755260 or email elizabeth.sanders@mariecurie.org.uk
