Tesco NI raise over £50,000 for Marie Curie

Tesco NI partnered with Marie Curie to facilitate collections as part of Marie Curie’s Great Daffodil Appeal, which is a public collection campaign that happens annually. 

Robert Wilson, Tesco Newtownbreda Community Champion, said: “Tesco are delighted to maintain their strong connection with Marie Curie across all our stores and we always welcome their volunteers at springtime for their daffodil appeal.

“At our store, customers and colleagues certainly show their appreciation of the care that Marie Curie nurses provide, which is reflected in the generosity of their donations, and this support is evident in all Tesco stores nationwide.”
