Our fundraising groups are made up of wonderful, like-minded individuals who all join together to support their local hospice. Joining a fundraising group is a great way for you to get out-and-about in your local community, meet new friends, develop and support new and existing skills, and have fun!
Join a fundraising group
Being part of the Kings Norton fundraising group is a brilliant way to do something good in my community. I’ve met some wonderful people, helped organise events that I’m really proud of, and had a lot of fun along the way. It’s nice to know that you can give as much or as little time that suits you – even just a couple of hours each month can make a real difference.

Crafting Fundraising Group
Many of our wonderful volunteers and supporters enjoy getting crafty and creative, so we are very proud that we now have a wonderful crafting fundraising group. If you are interested in learning or starting a new hobby, developing your current skills, meeting new people and raising crucial funds for the hospice, then we would love to have you join the team:
University of Birmingham Fundraising Group
The University of Birmingham fundraising group organises pub quizzes, bake sales and collections as well as promoting hospice events and campaigns around campus by leafleting and having awareness stalls in the Students’ Union and at Volunteer Fairs. Becoming a member of a student fundraising group is a great way for you to meet new people who share similar interests to you, gain new and exciting employability skills, and have a lot of fun while helping to make a real difference to people living with life-limiting illness:
Heart Up-cycling
Our wonderful supporter Margot loves being creative and making beautiful items out of things that would normally be sent to waste. She set up Heart Up-cycling to turn her lovable and unique items into cash to support Birmingham Hospice, to say a big thank you for how the hospice looked after her mother many years ago.
