Big C news

I’m Tonia, Area Manager at Big C Cancer Charity, where I’ve worked for the past decade. In August I will be celebrating this milestone by raising money for those affected by cancer in Norfolk and Suffolk, by taking on the not incidental challenge of a Firewalk!

Big C is thrilled that its Furniture & Craft Emporium in Wymondham has been shortlisted for the Charity Retail Association’s Favourite Charity Shop Awards.

This year, why not challenge yourself to something a bit different, and sign up to help raise funds for Big C.

We have lots of exciting fundraising events coming up and we hope you will join us!

Talk Norwich City, supported by their followers Norwich City’s ‘Yellow Army’, has raised over £50,000 for Big C since 2019.

A charity online raffle and auction which saw the Norwich City squad come together to raise funds for Big C Cancer Charity has raised £7,794. This recent achievement has meant that the Talk Norwich City (TNC) fundraising total has reached an incredible £41,274 since the duo started supporting the charity in 2019.

Big C is reporting a sharp surge in demand for their services. Year on year* Big C has seen an overall increase of 79% in total support sessions from 4904 to 8782.

Across the weekend of 11th – 14th August 2023, Team Big C took on the National Three Peaks Challenge across England, Scotland and Wales. The last time Team Big C had taken on the challenge was in June of 2017 and the team this year were just as excited to take part six years later!

It was time for Big C to get the sequins out and the glitter ball ready on Saturday evening as a glamorous evening of ballroom and latin dancing was held at Hellesdon Community Centre on Saturday 2 March, raising funds for the local cancer charity.
