A total of £28,704.07 has been raised for Southern Area Hospice through its 2024 Big Bucket Collection. This years collection took place 22 March with volunteers collecting in many villages and towns.
A total of 232 volunteers came out in force to help the hospice collect donations across the Southern Trust area, giving over 400 hours of their time.
Fundraising Officer, James McCaffrey said “We are over the moon with our final total. We are incredibly grateful for the support from local communities. It is down to our wonderful donors and volunteers who gave their valuable time to collect on our behalf that we were able to raise such a significant amount. We cannot thank you all enough”.
As well as the local collection in Newry street collections took place in Armagh, Banbridge, Lurgan, Portadown, Dungannon, Benburb, Camlough, Crossmaglen, Mayobridge, Kilkeel, Rostrevor, Warrenpoint and Castlewellan.
