Saint Catherine's launches big cash raffle with £2,500 up for grabs

The raffle will be drawn on Thursday October 22 and the prizes are:

First prize - £2,500

Second prize - £250

Third prize – 5 x £50

Richard Barwick, fundraising operations team leader, said: “The cash raffle is a great way to support patient care at Saint Catherine’s, with every ticket sold helping to raise the £11,000 we need every day to provide our care, free of charge, to patients and their loved ones.”

Katie Abram and her family experienced the care at Saint Catherine’s when her grandad Kenneth (pictured with Katie) was cared for during the final stages of his life.

Katie said: “My grandad told me how he felt happy and comfortable in the hospice.

"He also loved the fact he could have all his pictures of his family in front of him and have a garden view to see the birds outside.

“I am so grateful for the amazing care he received.

"I have supported Saint Catherine’s by raising funds in his memory.

"You could help support patient care too by taking part in the cash raffle.”

Tickets, priced at £1 each, or books of 10, are on sale now by emailing the fundraising department at [email protected] or by calling (01723) 378406 and speaking to one of the team.
