Marie Curie’s Great Daffodil Appeal in England
Marie Curie’s Great Daffodil Appeal in England is held on March 1. Marie Curie’s Great Daffodil Appeal has been raising awareness and funds since 1986. Without this generosity, thousands of families across the UK wouldn’t be able to make the most of the precious time they have left together. This event in the first decade of the month March is annual.

The debate on Marie Curie’s great daffodil appeal has become an annual event; it is accompanied by an annual reception, which is always great.
Marie Curie, the UK’s leading charity for people living with a terminal illness and their families, is urgently calling for volunteers across Somerset and North Devon to give just two hours of their time to hand out the charity’s iconic daffodil pins, in return for donations.
Volunteers will be supporting the Great Daffodil Appeal – Marie Curie’s biggest fundraising campaign, held every March.
In the next 10 years, more than six million people will die in the UK and of this number 75% will need end-of-life care. The money raised from the Great Daffodil Appeal will help Marie Curie nurses provide much-needed expert care to people in Somerset and North Devon with terminal illnesses, as well as support for their loved ones.
