A CHARITY has announced collection dates for its annual fundraising campaign.

Darlington's Marie Curie Cancer Care support group will carry out collections for the charity's daffodil appeal throughout March.

Collections will take place in Sainsbury's, Victoria Road, on Friday March 5 and Saturday March 6, in the town centre, including the Cornmill Centre, on March 12 and March 13, North Road Morrisons on Thursday March 18 and Friday March 26 and Morton Park Morrisons on Friday March 19 and Saturday March 20.

Isobel Wilkinson, group coordinator, said: "Marie Curie nurses care for terminally ill people both in their own homes as well as in hospices.

"Volunteers are always needed to help with the campaign."
