Marie Curie launches 2026 daffodil appeal

Chris said: “I’m incredibly proud to be a Marie Curie ambassador.

“Just a two-hour collection is enough to help fund almost four hours of expert nursing care or five calls to Marie Curie’s Support Line, so every shift can make a real difference to terminally ill people and their loved ones.

“I know from having done collections myself how fun and easy they are. So, gather your friends or family, put on your big yellow hat and donate just a couple of hours of your time to help raise vital funds that enable Marie Curie to give someone else the support that they need at the end of their life.”

Another way that people can get involved is at their local supermarkets or at street collections.

Supermarket chain Morrisons especially is continuing its relationship with Marie Curie by hosting a range of fundraising activities. Shoppers can get involved in fundraising activities including Daffodil Dance-a-thon, Daffodil Drop Game and Daffodil Hunt.

Marie Curie is also calling on fundraisers across the UK to ‘Go Yellow’ to raise funds for its Great Daffodil Appeal this year. By dressing in something yellow, holding a yellow-themed bake sale or coming up with their own yellow-themed activity, supporters will help Marie Curie bring expert end of life care to more people than ever.
