Marie Curie Fundraising Spinning Gate Shopping Centre Leigh

Dear Mike and Pauline,

A Great Big Thank You!
Thank you so much for all your efforts in providing entertainment at our Spinning Gate Shopping Centre collection in Leigh in aid of Marie Curie.
The money raised will help our nurses care for more people living with a terminal illness in their own homes over the coming year.


Every five minutes, someone in the UK dies without the care they need at the end of their life, and that is why your support is so important to us. 

Thank you for helping us to continue to provide our services to our patients and their families.
Kind Regards
