MARIE Curie’s Great Daffodil Appeal has been boosted by a donation £500 from retirement home developer Adlington.
The firm will continue collecting funds for Marie Curie throughout March at its new Urmston development on Moorside Road and is planting daffodils at the site to help raise awareness of the charity and its work.
The funds will be used to help nurses provide care and support for terminally ill people.
The donation follows Adlington’s recent Urmston Information Day, held at Davyhulme Golf Club last week, which invited downsizers and their families to meet with the team and learn more about the apartments available.
Strong attendance saw high expressions of interest, with potential buyers able to explore the layouts of the 55 apartments and understand how Adlington’s services offer independent living for the over 60s
Work began on Adlington’s £11 million Urmston site earlier in the year and the company says the development will offer an independent lifestyle with optional 24-hour care and support available if required, in a safe and secure environment.
Claire Reede, sales and marketing manager at Adlington, said: “We’re really proud to be supporting Marie Curie and the Great Daffodil Appeal this year through our Urmston development, as the charity does excellent work and supports millions of people and their families throughout difficult times.
"We’re encouraging the community to help us continue fundraising this March by visiting our Urmston marketing suite and we’re willing the daffodils we’re planting to brave the cold weather!”
