Head of Shops Alec Barclay said: “We are delighted that Stephen McPartland has given up his time today to volunteer at one of our Marie Curie Cancer Care shops. ... Volunteering is a great way to support your local community while meeting new people and learning new skills. Our shops would simply not be able to run without them.”

Make A Difference Day is the Marie Curie Cancer Care for the UK’s biggest single day of volunteering.
