LAST week, the Garrick Theatre WAS kind enough to allow us to hold a raffle each evening and we raised £886, we would like to thank the Theatre management, the staff and all the patrons who supported us.

On Saturday and Sunday, we were invited into Altrincham Garden Centre and World of Pets where we held a Name the Bear Competition, raffled two paintings donated by a local artist.

students from the sixth forms at Wellington College and Altrincham College of Arts did a wonderful job selling our daffodil badges.

Those activities raised £500.

In addition, there was a street collection in Altrincham.

What a successful week for our local fund raising group.

The money raised will be used to support our two Marie Curie nurses in Trafford who look after terminally ill patients who wish to remain in their own homes.

What very generous people we have in Altrincham.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped to make our efforts such a success.

Chairman, Altrincham Marie Curie Fund Raising Group
