Tuesday 9th June 2026
Tickets go on sale on Tuesday July 1, for one month until Thursday 31 July.
Francis House Children’s Hospice is offering a top prize of £1,000 to anyone who buys the winning ticket in its summer raffle.
At just £2 per ticket, not only is £1,000 up for grabs but a range of exciting prizes from a mountain bike, ice cream maker and hundreds of pounds worth of vouchers.
The cash prize has kindly been donated by JP Goldman and all of the prizes have been donated for fundraising purposes at no cost to the charity.
Funds from the raffle will go towards the £13,700 daily running costs of the hospice and its services supporting the families of children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions.
Prizes to be won include £1,000 cash, £200 worth of Amazon vouchers, 26 inch Enduro Mountain Bike, Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker, £120 worth of One4all vouchers, Under Armour True Wireless Streak headphones and beanie hat, toy hamper, Afternoon Tea at The Midland Hotel, and £75 worth of Marks & Spencer vouchers.
“The raffle is a quick and easy way to donate to Francis House with the added bonus of potentially winning one of 9 fabulous prizes – all of which have been donated. A £2 donation could win you the top prize of £1,000 but you have to be in it, to win it!”
Julie Williams, Senior Fundraising Officer
