SHOPPERS will be asked to part with their pounds and pennies as part of a fundraising drive taking place at a supermarket.

Tesco Superstore, in Greenstead Road, Colchester, will host volunteers from the Marie Curie charity next month during opening times.

The bucket-shakers will be asking supporters for donations, which will then be used by organisation to support people living with terminal illnesses.

The collection, overseen by Marie Curie fundraiser Angela Taylor, will be held on December 16 and 17.
