The vital services that our Hospice provides wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our valued Lottery Members.
Our Lottery has raised over £6 million pounds for the Hospice since its launch in 2003 and has also created almost 7,000 lucky winners.
For just £1 a week you could join our Weekly Lottery to be in with the chance of winning £1,000!
52 weeks of the year, we have 6 prizes up for grabs for our Weekly Lottery Members…

Monthly membership contributes towards the cost of us supporting a patient in our Wellbeing Centre.
13 weeks membership helps to fund the cost of our counselling and support services for a patient and their family.
26 weeks membership helps to provide vital bereavement support for a grieving family.
52 weeks membership contributes to the meals, support and specialist care offered to a Hospice patient.
This is the easiest way to play our Hospice Lottery regularly and also the lowest cost payment method for us to administer – leaving more money to fund our services.

You can sign up for the Lottery and pay by Direct Debit or Standing Order. In order to be entered into the Lottery you need to be in credit each week. If you choose to pay monthly by Direct Debit or Standing Order then the amount will be £4.34. This equates to £52 a year (£4.34 x 12 = £52.08).
You can also pay quarterly (£13 per number), six monthly (£26 per number) or annually (£52 per number) by Direct Debit or Standing Order. If you wish to pay by cheque or debit card the minimum payment is £13 which will keep you in play for 13 weeks. We will write to you with a reminder of when your renewal payment is due.
Unfortunately not. Our number(s) are electronically generated, will be unique to you and will be entered into the Weekly Draw as long as you are in credit. You will never have to share your prize money, unless you have joined a syndicate.
The maximum you can have is 20 which would cost £86.80 a month.
