We are a fundraising lottery, raising funds for hospices in the UK.

We run a weekly lottery draw, where you can play to raise funds for the hospice charity of your choice. It’s easy, simple and it’s fun!

It costs just £1 per play and you can play regularly, weekly or whenever you want to.

Our aim is to provide hospices a regular and reliable income from the lottery and give them the chance to make a difference to the lives of the people affected by life limiting and life threatening conditions.

Your Hospice Lottery is owned and run by St Helena, a hospice charity based in Colchester, so we really understand how important it is to fundraise to make sure patients and their loved ones continue to receive the best hospice care possible, free of charge.

Together, we can make a huge difference.

ALL of the profits of our lottery go back into the charity sector, and to where the money is needed the most. St Helena receives a small income towards hospice care from each lottery play for administering the lottery.

Lotteries can be expensive to run, and therefore with registered hospices all working together in this way, it means that we can combine resources and more money can go back to charity.

We have been running and administering lotteries for over 20 years. In 2001 St Helena Hospice lottery began and we have run the successful Your Hospice Lottery since 2011 with our first partner on board- Arthur Rank Hospice Charity. We now support many hospices throughout the UK, and we thank you for helping to support those by playing our lottery.
