Marie Curie Cancer Care has teamed up with Laura Ashley to call for donations of unwanted jewellery to raise funds for the charity. If you have any unwanted silver, gold or costume jewellery including anything odd, snapped or broken donate them to the national scheme and the charity will benefit from a share of the proceeds. The scheme was inspired by the first ever donation to the charity in 1948 - a diamond engagement ring that raised £75 at auction (equivalent to around £5,762 today). This ends the end of this month so drop any dontations to Laura Ashley shops or Marie Curie Cancer Care Shops or visit www.mariecurie.org.uk.
