The annual appeal, which encourages people to purchase attractive daffodil lapel badges for a small donation, takes place in March each year and raises millions of pounds for the charity who provide specialist nursing care for the terminally ill.

One of the key services delivered by Marie Curie is the respite they offer families by providing nursing care in the patient’s own home from 10pm-7am.

Community fundraiser Amelia Forrest said: “The amount raised is absolutely fantastic and equates to 122 hours of nursing care which will be used to deliver services to people in North Yorkshire.”
