Volunteers from the Southern Area Hospice will be fundraising in towns and villages across the Southern Trust Area next month as part of their 2025 Big Bucket Collection.
Look out for them in Armagh, Newry, Warrenpoint, Rostrevor, Camlough, Kilkeel, Banbridge, Lurgan, and Crossmaglen on Friday 21 March.
Siobhan McArdle, Hospice Fundraising Manager, encouraged local people to sign up and volunteer on the day saying, “Every year, the success of our Big Bucket collections are thanks to the incredible support we get from local people, businesses, and schools. This year, we are hoping to see that support grow even more. If you can spare 1 or 2 hours to help collect in your town, it will make a world of difference for our patients and their families.”
The goal is to raise £40,000 to support the Hospice’s specialist palliative care services. Volunteers play a vital role in the success of the event, and the Hospice is calling on the local community to get involved.
If you are interested in volunteering, the Hospice encourages you to reach out—your participation can make a real impact. You can contact Rosie on 028 3026 7711 or email vs@southernareahospiceservices.org
