MARIE Curie Cancer Care is appealing for people in Cornwall and Devon to donate an hour of their time this March, to hand out the charity's daffodil pin in return for donations as part of the charity's Great Daffodil Appeal.

The appeal is Marie Curie's biggest fundraiser which encourages everyone to give a donation and wear a daffodil pin during March.

The money raised from the Great Daffodil Appeal will help Marie Curie Nurses to provide more free care to local people with terminal illnesses in their own home.

Actress Olivia Colman said: "I'm supporting Marie Curie's Great Daffodil Appeal and urging anyone who has an hour or two to spare this March to sign up and collect funds for the charity."
