Marie Curie fundraising in Campbeltown - Can you help?

[Kintyre Forum News]

Received this letter from Fiona at Marie Curie Cancer Care to see if anyone is interested in giving up some of their time to start a group in Campbeltown. First meeting is Monday 21st November - see below for details.

An Invitation

I would like to invite you to an informal meeting which is being held to inform you of our plans to start a Marie Curie Cancer Care fundraising group in the Kintyre area.

At the meeting you will have an opportunity to meet local Marie Curie Cancer Care staff and supporters of the charity and we will bring you right up to date with our plans. You will hear first hand about our services and how the money we raise is spent, and find out more about what it means to belong to a local fundraising group.

Marie Curie Nurses provide care to patients with cancer and other life limiting illnesses who wish to be cared for at home. Our nurses not only care for patients but provide important support to their families at a time when they need it most.

Our new group will consist of volunteers in Campbeltown and the surrounding area who will organise the community fundraising locally with guidance and support from the charity. Groups have a great deal of fun whilst sharing the enjoyment of knowing that their fundraising efforts will help make a difference to local people.

I hope you can join us on Monday 21st November at Campbeltown Hospital at 7.30pm. If more than one representative would like to attend they would be very welcome. Please RSVP by Friday 18th November by telephone or post using the details at the top of this letter, or reply by email at fiona.leitch@mariecurie.org.uk

I look forward to hearing from you and I hope we will see you at the meeting.

Yours sincerely
