For just £1 per ticket, you could win amazing cash prizes in the St Barnabas Summer Raffle, all while supporting hospice care in your local community.
One lucky player will win the top prize of £3,000, with a 2nd prize of £500 and 100 prizes of £5 also up for grabs!
Tickets are available to purchase via the St Barnabas Hospice website and within selected St Barnabas shops for just £1 per each.
Like many other Hospices and charities, St Barnabas is facing an increasingly challenging and uncertain time. £7 million needs to be raised this year to keep providing compassionate care, both within the Inpatient Units and within people’s homes.
The care St Barnabas provides is only 44% funded, and with rising running costs of £40,000 per day, this is not financially sustainable.
With every £1 per ticket you buy, you will be directly contributing to the funding of St Barnabas’ vital services, supporting people like Ron and Max.
When Ron was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2014, he was given three to five years to live. Since then, Ron and his wife, Maxine, have reached out to St Barnabas to receive vital support before and after his lung transplant.
Ron says: “The service they’ve given me over the years has been absolutely fantastic. I’ve had so much support. I’d like to thank the whole team from the bottom of my heart for being there. Not just for me, for both of us.”
Karen McCay, Senior Clinical Services Manager, comments: “At St Barnabas, we are committed to providing personalised care and support. Rather than asking what’s the matter with you, we ask what matters to you. We see you as a whole person, rather than a list of symptoms and problems.”
Maxine adds: “What the Hospice have done, is seen us a couple. I know if, and when, anything happens to Ron, that St Barnabas will be there to support me, and that is invaluable.”
Every time you play the St Barnabas Lottery or take part in one of the Raffles, you help the Hospice to continue offering vital free care to patients living with a terminal or life limiting illness and their families across the county.
