our work
mental health
mental health is so prevalent and the more we learn about it the more we realise just how many people are suffering.
we really want to encourage people to talk and have those tough conversations which could in turn save a life.
we hold mental health awareness evenings with knowledgeable speakers and we encourage the audience to start and continue those conversations. keep an eye on our social media for our next event.
homelessness
we began volunteering at a local homeless shelter in 2014 providing free hot drinks and food to the people.
over the 2 years of volunteering we got to know these people, we heard their stories and saw their pain and so we decided we needed to do something that would create a longer lasting change, which led us to create bigmoose coffee co.
suicide prevention
the number of suicides in the uk in 2018 was 6507. this number shocks us every time we read it and we really want to do something to help people and to reduce the number of deaths by suicide.
we provide free or discounted counselling for our people with our amazing counsellor, graeme. he has been described as a miracle worker and we have seen such amazing results from his work.

your support means the world to us and is directly helping us to save lives. thank you so much.
our 2022 project
bigmoose project 1 million
during lockdown 2020 we were discussing the future of bigmoose and how we wanted to impact the world. during this time we were providing therapy for lots of people and had been told by five people that without our intervention they would have ended their lives.
due to early and impactful intervention 5 people were still alive. 5 families weren't grieving and the world still had these amazing humans in it. we could not get this thought out of our heads.
unfortunately we were hearing more and more of people struggling and lives being lost. we recognised that people needed help, now more than ever.
as we listened to people's stories one thing that we were hearing time and time again was that the therapy and intervention that people needed was taking too long and was inaccessible for so many people.
and so, just like that, we had found what direction we wanted to take bigmoose in and project 1 million was born.
throughout 2022 we are aiming to raise £1,000,000 which will be used to provide therapy and early & timely intervention for people. as well as providing training for businesses to better support their teams.
we realise this is a huge goal and we cannot do it alone. we need all the help we can get and we would love to have you on board! our goal is to help people with their mental health, prevent suicide and reduce homelessness.
we will achieve our goal and we will save lives.
in 2020, 5224 people killed themselves in england and wales. this project will help to reduce this number. we hope you will join us and help to leave the world better than we found it.
supertri
the bigmoose supertri is a disabled children’s triathlon. every child is welcome no matter their disability. they all take part in a swim, a cycle and a run, but there are no timing chips, no competition and no pressure. the day is all about having fun and these children feeling success.
every child is presented with a medal, a certificate and a goodie bag. keep an eye out for updates on our social media for the next event.
cardiff half
every year we put together a team of bigmoose runners to take part in the cardiff half marathon. we are so lucky to have so many wonderful, kind people running for us and raising money to help support our work.
anyone is welcome, so please get in contact if you’d like to join our team! the next cardiff half is march 2021.
