Marie Curie calling on Newport and Cwmbran residents
The UK's leading end-of-life charity is encouraging residents in Newport and Cwmbran to take part in its Paint it Yellow fundraiser by volunteering for collections at their local Morrisons stores this August.
Tori Williams, Marie Curie's community fundraiser, said: "We believe everyone deserves expert end-of-life care and support.
"Getting involved in the Paint it Yellow fundraiser and collecting at your local Morrisons is a brilliant and fun way to give back to our local community here in Newport and Cwmbran whilst also helping us provide a vital service to those in the final chapter of their lives."
The collections will take place at Morrisons stores from August 14 to 17 and August 21 to 24.
Marie Curie says every five minutes, someone dies without the care they need.
A typical two-hour collection shift raises around £85, which can fund nearly four hours of nursing care or five calls to the Marie Curie Support Line.
The money raised also helps to fund the charity's free support line and webchat, which offers practical and emotional support to individuals and families facing terminal illness.
