Get involved with Big C this autumn!
Now that summer has come to an end, we want to thank all of our volunteers, fundraisers and supporters who have worked so hard. From running 10ks, hosting charity football matches and even helping us cut hundreds of beautiful sunflowers, thank you!
Looking towards the rest of the year, our events are far from over as we have a number of wonderful activities that we hope you will join us at…
On 29 – 30 October we will be holding Big C’s first Charity Art Fair at The Forum in Norwich, in partnership with Lamberts. We invite you to come and view the collection of artwork that has been generously donated to Big C by local artists.
You don’t need to be an art connoisseur to get involved, there is something for everyone. From sculptures and mixed media artwork to paintings, prints and even original illustrations from a published children’s book!
A small collection of pieces will be available to purchase on the day, and there will be a variety of art, craft and jewellery stalls. The auction will then be live online from 21 October until 10 November.
Our festive season starts on 4 December when we are inviting everyone to join us at St Peter Mancroft Church in Norwich for Remember in December. This will be a wonderful evening to reflect and remember anyone who has been affected by cancer, or those no longer with us.
There will be a number of specially selected readings and Christmas carols. We will once again be joined by the incredible opera singer Benjamin Lake and students from Stagecoach Performing Arts Norwich.
On 8 December, Big C will be taking over Thetford Forest for our very popular Jingle Jangle Fun Run! This is the perfect event to get all your friends and family together for some festive outdoors fun!
You will have the choice of 2.5k or 5k and as this is a fun run there isn’t even any pressure to run; you can walk, hop, skip or jump your way to the finish line!
All our wonderful participants will be given jingle bell wrist bands to create that wonderful sound of Santa’s Sleigh making its way through the forest! Jingle Jangle is bound to get you in that fun, festive mood so grab your trainers, dig out those Santa hats and Christmas jumpers and sign up to join us!
Christmas shopping can always be a bit stressful so make sure to stop by at Castle Quarter on the 14 December where our Big C Christmas Choirs event will help keep up that jolly spirit!
We will be joined by 4 local choirs who will be performing to all the shoppers from 10am to 2pm, singing all those Christmas favourites!
We hope you’re able to come and support Big C over the coming months, or you can always hold your own event with friends and family. Just head to our Get Involved page to find out how to get started.
How ever you choose to get involved, a big thank you from us all – we really appreciate your support!
