Southern Area Hospice Services are calling on the local community in Newry to get behind their ‘Big Bucket Collection’ which takes place in towns and villages throughout the Southern Health Trust area on Friday 3rd April 2020.

On this date collections will take place in numerous locations throughout the Southern Health Trust area and volunteers are needed to help make the collection a ‘Big’ success.

In 2019 Southern Area Hospice Services held their first Big Bucket Collection to mark 30 years of providing Hospice Care, and such was the overwhelming level of support received for the event and the success of it they have decided to make it an annual event in the Hospice Fundraising Calendar.

With the aim of fundraising £30,000 in one day to help the Hospice continue their work providing care and support to local people who are living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses, such as Multiple Sclerosis and Motor Neurone Disease, Southern Area Hospice really do need all the volunteers they can get.

Could you and your family, friends or work colleagues come together to volunteer at our collection in Newry? Or if Newry doesn’t suit Southern Area Hospice are also looking for volunteers in various other locations throughout the Southern Health Trust area including: Armagh, Banbridge, Camlough, Coalisland, Crossmaglen, Dungannon, Keady, Kilkeel, Lurgan, Moy, Portadown, Rathfriland, Rostrevor and Warrenpoint.

If you would like to volunteer, or even coordinate one of the collections, Southern Area Hospice would like to hear from you. Or if you can’t volunteer on the day maybe you could take a collection box or a bucket to your workplace and help raise funds.

In whatever way you choose to help, Southern Area Hospice would love to hear from you.
