Woking & Sam Beare Hospice links up with Local Hospice Lottery
Woking & Sam Beare Hospice is delighted to announce the launch of a brand new partnership which will significantly increase lottery income for the Hospice over the coming years. In fact, through Woking & Sam Beare Hospice choosing to work with Local Hospice Lottery it is hoped that more than £1.2 million will be raised for local care over the next five years alone.
Woking & Sam Beare Hospice is one of 35 hospices throughout Great Britain benefitting from the proceeds raised by its weekly draws. This regular and reliable income will help make a big difference to Woking & Sam Beare Hospice helping us to continue to provide our care to our patients living with terminal or life-limiting illnesses and their families across North West Surrey.
Anyone can get involved by joining online now at www.localhospicelottery.org.
We are very excited to be working with Local Hospice Lottery. They have an excellent reputation and a fantastic track record for delivering a really strong return for all of the hospice partners they work with. I am confident they will do the same for Woking and Sam Beare hospice as we embark on a new era for our lottery. Together with LHL we aim to help raise even greater levels of funding to help ensure we can continue to deliver exceptional care to patients and families across North West Surrey. Phil Wormley, Director of Fundraising
By sharing management costs and overheads, Local Hospice Lottery’s innovative and collaborative model ensures that as much money as possible can be passed to hospice care, whilst also giving hospice supporters the opportunity to win in a larger prize fund too. For each £1 entry in the weekly draw, Local Hospice Lottery will give between 60% and 80% of profits from individuals playing in support of Woking & Sam Beare Hospice to Woking & Sam Beare Hospice. This is significantly more than most other society lotteries and, to date, Local Hospice Lottery has raised almost £58 million for hospice care across Great Britain.
After considering various options when deciding how to develop the income stream from our existing lottery and after all due consideration, decided that joining the Local Hospice Lottery was the best option for both the Hospice and its supporters.
Woking & Sam Beare Hospice will now benefit from receiving more from every £1 entry than we did previously – and the more local people that play – the more we receive.
Anyone in the UK, aged 18 or over can join the Local Hospice Lottery playing in support of Woking & Sam Beare Hospice and have a great chance to win as they help the Hospice to keep
caring for local families in need.
Membership costs just £5 per month and there are currently 201 cash prizes to be won every week:

- A £1,000 rollover prize, which can reach as high as £25,000

A team of paid fundraisers will be working in the local area in the coming months – both door-to-door and at venues – offering local people the opportunity to sign up to the Lottery.
