Launching our Your Charity Lottery partnership lottery scheme in November 2020 has allowed us to continue to raise vital funds during these uncertain times whilst offering people something back in return in the form of a cash prize.
The Lottery supporters have created a sustainable income stream that has helped to maintain our projects, the environment, staff and patient services and much more whilst having the opportunity to win one of 82 prizes up to £10,000 every week.
Devon Partnership NHS Trust has had 21 cash prize winners in this time. On top of making many winners, we have raised more than £3,300 which has gone directly to projects within the organisation. To put this into perspective, this is equivalent of having pet therapy sessions attending the wards, every single week for 15 months. £3,300 could also buy 127 pieces of sensory equipment to enhance a space and provide a calming environment for both staff and patients. This really does mean that each £1 makes a huge difference to people’s lives.
Twice a year during super draws, prizes are increased up to £5,000 where additional entries can be purchased online. Over the last year these have also generated an extra £690 being raised directly for the Trust.
Signing up to the Lottery is easy. All you have to do is select how many numbers you would like in each weekly draw, choose the frequency you would like to play, sign up using your details and help make a difference while having the chance to win. You will receive a welcome pack in the post and can cancel any time you feel the lottery is not right for you.
If you sign up for the annual subscription of £52, you will also receive a collectible Lotte the Lottery bear!
