A CHARITY that supports people with terminal illnesses is appealing for volunteers to help manage collection boxes in and around Dudley.

The Marie Curie fundraising team needs collection box co-ordinators to look after boxes that are currently on display in shops, newsagents, chemists, pubs and GP surgeries.

Volunteers will also be tasked with placing collection boxes in new locations.

Rachel Nash, community fundraiser for Dudley, said: “As a volunteer collection box co-ordinator you’ll help to raise vital money and awareness for Marie Curie.

"We’re appealing for people who can look after collection boxes in the local community, count and bank the monies and also spot new opportunities to place boxes in the community.

"It’s a great way to get involved with Marie Curie and the money raised from the boxes will help to provide vital care and support to people living with a terminal illness and their families, when they need it most.”
