While Christmas may be 13 Mondays away, we are already getting in the festive groove.
Tickets for our Christmas raffle have gone on sale with a jackpot prize of £5,000.
Each year we hold two raffles – one in the summer and the other at Christmas.
Support
The care and support we give to thousands of people living with incurable illness in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales is in part funded by the sale of thousands and thousands of the tickets which are sold online via our website, from our network of 31 shops and two main receptions at Bicton Heath, Shrewsbury and Apley Castle. Telford.
The theme of this year’s raffle is that by buying a ticket, our loyal supporters help to give our nurses time to care and ensure that patients and their families and carers continue to be treated with dignity and respect.
Care
Karen Swindells, head of lottery, said: “We know that everyone is feeling the pinch right now and that things are tight for so many people in the run up to Christmas.
“But even just buying a few tickets makes an enormous difference to us. They cost just £1 each, but this all adds up. We must raise £2 for every £3 we spend and each week we spend £166,117 on care.
“A full set of scrubs for a nurse cost £29, £65 provides a therapeutic Elephants Never Forget day for a group of children and their carers while £20 provides an hour’s care from a Hospice at Home healthcare assistant.
“Without the overwhelming generosity of our incredible supporters, we would not be able to be there for as many people as we are when they are facing heartbreak.”
Good luck!
