Incredi-bull project to support Birmingham Hospice

Paradise is proud to be supporting the Bulls in the City campaign this spring, in aid of Birmingham Hospice, while also promoting arts and crafts activity across the city.

With 40 new bulls arriving in the city later this summer which will provide an interactive arts trail during the summer months before being eventually auctioned, we’re right behind this campaign and have already held an estate-wide Lunch & Learn event to kick off the start of our own activities to support the hospice and its essential work.

Keen to help create a herd of cuddly bulls prior to the arrival of the larger bull statues due to overtake the city, the estate hosted a crochet workshop last week where occupiers learned the art of crocheting, while creating the first bulls for our very own mini herd which will be sold in Birmingham Hospice’s retail outlets.

The involvement of Paradise and many other companies and organisations across the city will raise vital funds for the work of Birmingham Hospice. The appeal is also in partnership with Arts Therapies UK, a local mental health charity which will be using community sessions to help craft bulls for the campaign.

Rebecca Fellows, Customer Success Manager at Arts Therapies UK, said:

“Arts Therapies UK is very proud to collaborate with Paradise Birmingham as part of the #BullsInTheCity campaign.

Together with destinations like Paradise and companies and organisations across Birmingham, we’re crafting hundreds of crochet bulls to support Birmingham Hospice and the incredible work they do for the people of the city and region.”
