Win £3000 in our Winter Draw!

Put the ‘win’ into your winter with a £3,000 top prize in the Willen Hospice Winter Draw!

Our Winter Draw is  open to anyone over 18, and we’re inviting people to pay just £1 per ticket for their chance to take home the top prize of £3,000! A second prize of £500 or 10 runner-up prizes of £50 are also up for grabs!

Last year the incentive raised over £17,000 for the Hospice and this year we hope to smash that record. The money raised helps to pay towards the running costs of the Hospice, which is now at almost £6 million every year.
Sara’s dad was cared for by Willen Hospice, “Being at the Hospice meant we could finally just sit with Dad, hold his hand, and enjoy those last special moments with him. It certainly helped me with the grief. The memories of him being at the Hospice are peaceful ones, and some of them are even happy ones. I’ll genuinely be forever thankful for that”.

Louise Dela-Haye, our Lottery Fundraising manager said, “Our Winter Draw is a great way to support Willen Hospice while having some fun – and if you’re lucky – win some money! We rely on the local community to run the Hospice, it’s that simple. By just buying a ticket for yourself, your friends, and your family, you’ll be making a huge difference to local people facing an incredibly challenging time.” 

Winter Draw tickets are available to buy here at or in any of the Willen Hospice shops. The closing date is 26 January 2024, the draw takes place on 8 February 2024. Winners will be announced within 7 days.
