Calling all primary schools, nurseries, pre-schools, playgroups, toddler groups, childminders, rainbows, brownies, beavers, cubs and anyone else I've forgotten .....

Mini Pots of Care is a wonderful interactive and creative scheme which aims to involve youngsters in a challenge to plant and care for a daffodil bulb, representing the amazing work of Marie Curie Nurses and the end of life care they provide to patients and families.

Any children's group can apply for the free Mini Pots of Care planting kits which include everything needed to  for every child to plant and grow the daffodil bulb: pot, soil, bulb, pot wrapper etc. These need to be requested by 5 October at the latest.

The children can then celebrate their achievements in the Spring with a 'Mini Pots of Care Day'.

To find out more about the scheme, and to apply for your free planting kits, please see www.mariecurie.org.uk/minipotsofcare.
