Salisbury Hospice Charity

Salisbury Hospice Charity

Salisbury Hospice Charity provides free of charge end of life care services for patients with advanced, progressive, life-limiting conditions, and support for their loved ones and carers.

End of life care is about relieving the distressing symptoms and pain of a disease that can no longer be cured.

Hospice care is focused on the whole person: physical, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of patients.

• It costs £2.9 million a year to run Salisbury Hospice.
• Salisbury Hospice Charity aims to raise £1.5 million of the above costs, each a year to ensure vital services are maintained.
• The hospice was able to help over 1,000 people last year but would not have been able to do so without the funds raised by Salisbury Hospice Charity.

From your very first game, you will help Salisbury Hospice Charity raise vital funds that will support people in need in the local community. Some examples of what your contribution could pay for are:

• £10 provides art and craft materials for the day centre.
• £20 funds a bereavement support session.
• £50 provides a complementary therapy session.

How To Play The Lottery

Each entry to the draw costs £1. Our draws are run every week of the year, usually on a Friday. You can either set up a membership to provide your chosen hospice with a regular and reliable income, every week of the year, or you can play as and when you want to, whatever suits you best!

Lottery fundraising is a really easy and fun way to provide hospices with an income that they can plan for the future with. You need to be 18 or over and living in Great Britain to take part.

Last year (April 2022-March 2023):

*Lottery Income that went towards charitable causes : £2,614,911.00 - 65.5%
*Lottery income that went on expenses : £1,177,430.00 - 29.5%
*Lottery income that went on prizes : £172,525.00 - 5.0%

What are my chances of winning?

Any prize = 1 in 344 tickets entered into the draw will win a prize.

These figures are estimated using current plays and figures and can vary slightly from each week. These are an approximate and can be updated at any time.

How Do I Win?

When you join, we will allocate you with a lottery play number. Our draws are randomly drawn each Friday (with exception when this is a Bank Holiday, when it will take place the working day prior). You don’t need to check the results every week, although you can if you want to. If you win, we will contact you to let you know. If we have your email, your prize winnings will automatically go into your Your Hospice Lottery account; where you can then request a withdrawal, after which monies are then transferred into your bank account, or if you don’t have an email with us, a letter and cheque will be sent via post (please make sure that we have your up to date address).
