They were particularly appreciative of the garden centre's decision to host the collection on one of their busiest weekends of the year.

This recent accomplishment adds to the £1,000 that the group had previously raised in March through collections held at Morrisons and with the help of collecting boxes placed in various local businesses.

The Maldon Marie Curie Fundraising Group continues to leave a positive impact on the community, striving to support those in need during challenging times. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, email mariecuriemaldonfg@gmail.com.
