A CHARITY is appealing for residents' help looking after collection tins.
Marie Curie is asking the people of Halstead to coordinate collection tins in shops, pubs and restaurants throughout the town.
The money raised from these tins helps to provide nursing care for terminally ill people in their own home.
Rose Bloomfield, Local Community Fundraiser said: “Looking after the collection tins is a really effective way to help support local Marie Curie nurses. "We’ve got tins out in shops and pubs but no one to look after them, so they aren’t raising as much money as they could, which in turn affects the amount of Marie Curie nursing we can provide.
"We’re looking for people who can go around sites in their local area once every three months to replace the full tin with an empty one, then count and bank the money raised."
