We are offering £5,000 to anyone who buys the winning ticket for its summer raffle – but there are less than two weeks left to be in with a chance of scooping the prize.

Thousands of wannabe winners have already joined our summer raffle and the last chance to be one of them is Friday 4 July when ticket sales close.

Support

Karen Swindells, Severn Hospice Head of Individual Giving said: “We have to raise £2 for every £3 we spend and we’ve made no secret of how big our financial challenge is currently.

“Our raffle is a really simple way of showing your support for us – and for being in with a chance of winning that fantastic jackpot, or one of 42 other cash prizes.”

Over the past 30 years, our raffles and weekly lottery have raised a staggering £20 million towards the care of thousands of local people.

“Our supporters are amazing and we are so grateful for all they do to help us continue to care, they’re absolutely vital and so very much appreciated,” said Karen.

Care

To underline the caring connection of the raffle, hospice nurse Abi White was turned into a life-sized cut-out and has been popping up in our community shops and other venues across the region.

She said: “I can only do my job because our fantastic supporters are there for us. When someone buys a raffle ticket they are directly helping me care for a patient.”

Tickets are £1 each and available anytime via our website, from our shops, or from our hospice receptions at Telford and Shrewsbury. 

Players must be aged over 18. The draw, for the £5,000 jackpot and 42 other cash prizes, is on July 11.
