Birmingham Hospice is not fully funded by the NHS, instead relying on fundraising and donations to fund our services. Now, more than ever, our expert and compassionate care is needed to ensure people die in a place of their choice, with dignity and in comfort. But the cost of care is soaring, making it harder for us to care for everyone who needs it. We want to ensure weβre here for local communities now, and in the future. By taking part in Bulls in the City as a school or business, visiting the trail with your family or just sharing our message, you will make a difference.
After the summer trail, the sculptures will be auctioned off to raise money for Birmingham Hospice. You will have the opportunity to own a bull of your own and make a difference to ensure the future of your local hospice.
Itβs been so lovely to receive such amazing feedback about the Bulls in the City trail – and today weβre sharing these incredi-bull throwback pics from 4 year old Tilly ππ
Tillyβs mom said: βThank you for the lovely trail this year. My 4 year old daughter and myself collected our last 3 bulls the day before the event finished. It was our first event like this! She is excited to do another one soon.β
Tillyβs favourite bulls were Cadbully and Dare to Disco, as well as Bumble Bull by Warren Farm Primary School where she could spot her name βοΈ
We might be blue the summer is over but weβre so excited for the future! π thank you again for all the support and for everyone who joined the herd.
We don`t know if we`ll ever get over how incredi-bull auction night was last Thursday! π±
To have raised over Β£150,000 for Birmingham Hospice is a wonderful feeling and everyone at Herd HQ is feeling very proud and grateful for the support.
We`ve enjoyed looking back through the photos and celebrating this epic project! π

We`re beyond excited to share that the Bulls in the City auction raised an INCREDI-BULL Β£156,100 π
We had some late donations come in which meant the grand total from last night was more than we expected.
Huge thanks to everyone who placed bids, showed support, and helped these bold bovines find new pastures – your contributions made this a moo-ving success! π
Every pound raised last night will go towards helping to make every moment matter for patients and families being cared for by Birmingham Hospice .
We can`t thank every single person enough – to those people in the room, online, watching the live stream or just someone who has supported our trail over the last two years. THANK YOU!
Huge thanks for last night go to: π¨@auctionhousebirminghambc for being our Auction Partner – Chris Edwards was a fantastic auctioneer we`re so grateful! π₯οΈ @millenniumpoint for being our Event Partner and letting us host our auction in their immersive auditorium. π― @wildinart for supporting our project team and being wonder-bull trail partners! π€ @pje122 for being the best host we could ask for – and he even bought a bull! π @rhg_birmingham for moving our large bull herd out like a logistical dream. π€ Karen, our marvellous Clinical Nurse Specialist, and supporter John Harris who took to the stage last night to speak on behalf of our charity and tell their stories.
Our magnificent herd go under the hammer at 7pm to raise vital funds for Birmingham Hospice.
It costs more than Β£1.5 million to run our hospice for one single month. We are only part funded by the NHS and the rest of our income needs to come from fundraising and voluntary donations – just like the money raised at our auction.
So dig deep, bid big and let`s raise money for Birmingham Hospice! π€
