Community

We’re proud to support the people, groups and organisations doing brilliant things across Birmingham. Whether you're looking to run a community event or explore partnership opportunities, here’s everything you need to know.

If you’re a local community group, CIC or non-profit operating near the centre and would like to use mall, unit or outdoor space for an event or activity, please get in touch with us at:

Hosts@bullring.co.uk

We receive a high number of requests, and while we’d love to support everyone, we can only say yes to a few. When we can help, we look for activity that’s engaging, interactive and adds something meaningful to the visitor experience.

We prioritise requests where:

There’s a clear community need

The activity is more than just a static collection or sign-up

It creates a reason for people to stop, take part and connect

Please note:

We’re currently unable to accept any further requests for mall, unit or outdoor space due to existing commitments.

We’re also unable to donate gift cards for raffles, prize draws or fundraisers.

The Hammerson Charity Partner Bursary Scheme supports charities undertaking vital work within their local community. Each year, local charities are invited to apply for a bursary, with one or two organisations selected following a review, shortlisting, and voting process. Funding awarded will be either £5,000 to one charity or £2,500 each to two charities.

Our current partners for 2026–2027 are:

1. Acorns Children's Hospice - providing expert care for children with short lives
2. Birmingham Hospice – providing vital end-of-life care and support

Together, these organisations are making a real difference in Birmingham – and we’re proud to play a part in supporting their work.
