A NEW volunteer fundraising group has been launched in Launceston with the support of the Mayor of Launceston, Cllr Rob Tremain and Mayoress, Pat Tremain to raise funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

The group is busy making preparations for its Christmas collections and is seeking more volunteers to help.

Money raised will allow Marie Curie Nurses to continue to provide free care to people with terminal illnesses.
