CHARITY chiefs and supermarket bosses used flower power to launch a fundraiser to help cancer patients across Hampshire.
In a sea of glorious daffodils, Marie Curie Cancer Care and Bursledon's Tesco store celebrated the launch of its Charity of the Year partnership.
Tesco staff and customers are aiming to raise £2.5m to pay for an extra 125,000 hours of nursing care for patients and their families in communities across Hampshire and the UK.
Throughout the year staff at Hampshire's Tesco stores will be carrying out a host of fundraising events, including a donation from every purchase of fresh Speciality daffodils in the store.
