Join the lottery that gives you a chance to win great cash prizes every week PLUS an easy way to support Sobell House Hospice!

Sobell House Hospice is proud to be working with Local Hospice Lottery – a weekly lottery set up to provide financial support to hospices across Great Britain.

Playing the Local Hospice Lottery in support of Sobell House Hospice gives you the chance to win £2,000 every single week – along with 200 other cash prizes. PLUS there’s a rollover that can reach as high as £25,000*! Players are also automatically entered into Super Draws, which take place every March, September and December, which have an additional guaranteed top prize of an incredible £10,000!

* The £1,000 prize can roll over to a maximum of £25,000 (excluding Super Draw weeks where the £1,000 prize will always remain £1,000)!

As well as having a great chance to win, you will of course also be helping to make a real difference to local families in need of our help, as the Lottery provides regular income we can rely on. So it really is a win-win! To join the Local Hospice Lottery right now, simply click here, or call Freephone 0800 316 0645.

Prizes are issued automatically each week, so you don’t even need to worry about remembering to check your number(s) or claim any prizes. However, the weekly winning numbers are always available on the Local Hospice Lottery website, or via Facebook and Twitter.

How your money helps

Every year, the Local Hospice Lottery raises around £200,000 for our hospice. One way we spend these funds is through our creative therapies service, which are a lifeline for people who may be struggling with their thoughts and feelings when living with a terminal illness, or in their final days or weeks of life. Our patients can even create special keepsakes for their loved ones, whether that’s an album, a painting, or even a Desert Island Discs special. Meet Mark, who worked alongside our Music Therapist to create storybooks for his two-year-old son…

Local Hospice Lottery is a hospice owned collaboration.
