Marie Curie thank residents for their support during event

MARIE Curie has thanked residents for their support during the Blooming Great Tea Party to help people across the UK who have been affected by a terminal illness.

The generosity shown in the Northwich, Middlewich and Winsford areas means that the terminal illness charity will be able to reach more people that need its help.

They can deliver vital nursing care, emotional support, research and its free helpline for people with a terminal diagnosis and their loved ones.

Katy Armitage, Marie Curie community fundraiser in Cheshire, said: “As we begin to pack up the bunting, wash the tea cosies and move to a new belt-notch after too much cake, it’s time for me and everyone at Marie Curie to shout a huge thank you to Northwich, Middlewich and Winsford.

“Whether you shared tea and biscuits with a few friends or had the whole village round for a summer fete, every pound you have raised means that Marie Curie Nurses will be able to care for more people.

“Our research teams will help improve the care they receive, and our campaigners can fight to ensure that, at the end of our lives, we all receive the support we need when we need it most. Thank you.”
