The Edinburgh South Fundraising Group organised an envelope collection to raise money for Marie Curie. Over the past few weeks volunteer collectors visited homes in their local streets to collect donations from people who would like to support the charity.
A total of £823.20 was collected and will be used to help Marie Curie provide expert care, guidance and support to help people living with a terminal illness and their families.
Fiona Bushby, Community Fundraiser for Marie Curie said: “The support of the community is greatly appreciated and we would like to thank everyone who donated. We also would like to thank all our volunteers who made this collection possible.”
If you would like to find out how you could help Marie Curie in other ways, please contact Fiona Bushby on 0131 470 2290 or email Fiona.bushby@mariecurie.org.uk
