£2.5m partnership
Daffodils covered the entrance to a supermarket to mark the launch of a cancer charity's new partnership.
Tesco branches in Bury St Edmunds and across the UK will be working alongside Marie Curie Cancer Care, which has the daffodil as its symbol, throughout 2008 after they launched their new partnership on Tuesday.
It is hoped the campaign will help to fund an extra 125,000 hours of nursing care for terminally ill patients which allows them to remain in their own homes.
Mark Watts, Tesco security guard, was also at the launch to prepare for a 24-hour sponsored bicycle ride inside the store later on this month.
Amanda Woodgate, Marie Curie community fund-raiser for Suffolk and Norfolk, said: "We are hoping to raise
2.5 million to help support the nurses.
"Obviously, the more they can help us to raise the more we can pay for nurses."
