Weekly lottery launched by Francis House with £25,000 up for grabs

Francis House Children’s Hospice have launched their first ever Lottery with the aim of making a special impact.

For just £1 a week, you can make a meaningful difference while having the chance to win exciting cash prizes, including a £25,000 jackpot.

For every £1 entry, a minimum of 50p goes directly to supporting the work of the hospice. This vital funding not only provides care for seriously ill children and young people, but also for their families, including parents, siblings, and carers.

Joanne Burnett, fundraising officer of Francis House, said: “Regular and reliable income makes a big difference to Francis House and allows the hospice to continue to develop and run its much-needed services.

“On a personal note, the hospice means so much to me. My niece Devon, who has Menke-Hennekam Syndrome-1, is a regular visitor. Francis House provides a home from home, giving her parents vital respite. The care and compassion of the hospice team makes an immeasurable difference to our family.”

Francis House supports more than 435 families from across Greater Manchester providing holistic care in a home from home environment to children and young adults who have a life-limiting or life-threatening condition.

In addition to respite care, the teams at the hospice also provide homecare and community support. The total running cost of Francis House is £5.8 million per year. The majority of income comes through voluntary giving.
