Neil Hamilton, AM for Mid and West Wales, and leader of UKIP Wales, pledges to make ‘every daffodil count’ for Marie Curie this February.

Mr. Hamilton has pledged to encourage constituents to donate and wear their iconic Marie Curie daffodil, throughout February and March to help the charity’s nurses provide care and support, to people living with a terminal illness.

He joined the launch of the ‘Great Daffodil Appeal’, Marie Curie’s biggest annual fundraising campaign, at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay last week..

As well lending his support to the appeal, Mr. Hamilton is also encouraging Mid and West Wales people to help the charity raise more money than ever before, by simply giving a donation and wearing a Marie Curie daffodil pin, available from volunteers across Wales, Marie Curie shops, Superdrug, Spar, Poundworld, Hotter Shoes and Wyevale garden centres.

Neil Hamilton said:“Marie Curie is a wonderful organisation and the funds raised through the Great Daffodil Appeal help provide care and support to people at a time when they need it most. The Marie Curie nurses are selfless and hardworking and their professional expertise, understanding and care make an enormous difference to so many families who are having to cope with the trauma and distress of cancer.

“I know that people across Wales, will join me in supporting those affected by terminal illness across the country, by proudly wearing their Marie Curie daffodil throughout February and March.”
