Big Brum Bucket

Help local people in urgent need of hospice care – volunteer at a Big Brum Bucket collection. 💰

Can you give just three hours of your time to collect at one of our locations and help raise bucket-loads for hospice care?

We need brilliant volunteers like you to take to high streets and shopping centres across the region on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 July to help raise money for Birmingham Hospice.

Big Brum Bucket 2025 raised an incredible £12,000 and this year, with your help, we are hoping to raise even more! 

Big Brum Bucket is only a few weeks before our Bulls in the City trail launches. Therefore, we would love for our bucketeers to get involved and help spread the word! Each volunteer will be given some wording about our art trail and also your own pair of Bull Horns to wear on the day! 🐂🎨

Gill and Liz, volunteers:

Best friends Gill Justice and Liz Mooney have taken part in Big Brum Bucket for the last few years, collecting at their local ASDA in Oldbury!

Gill has a close connection with Birmingham Hospice, and is why she wants to support the appeal. She said: ‘My Mom had pancreatic cancer and following her diagnosis she started going to the Living Well Centre at Selly Park. She loved the care and attention she got there and attended coffee mornings, spa sessions, craft groups and other social gatherings.”

“Sadly she passed away on the day she was due to be admitted to the hospice. I will always be grateful to the hospice staff for helping so much during her final months.”

“The hospice staff do such fantastic work and the place itself is such a lovely haven of calm. No one knows if they, or a family member will need hospice care.”

Gill added: “It is a lovely day, Liz and I do it together and you get to meet lots of people many of whom stop and chat about their own experiences. As I collect local to where I live, I see old friends, work colleagues and even parents and children I have taught! I will be pleased to help out as long as I’m able to.”

Can you be a brilliant bucketeer like Liz and Gill and help raise bucketloads this summer?
