SIR: May I thank the BEN and Whitakers Store in Bolton for supporting the in-store Marie Curie Cancer Care raffle by donating three beautiful pieces of furniture which were raffled during the Readers Evening on Tuesday, February 3. £225 was raised as a result!

Money raised will be spent locally providing more vital nursing hours for people who are living at home with cancer. The charity would also like to hear from anyone prepared to help with their annual daffodil campaign in March.Telephone: 0161 480 3002.
