If you selected to make a recurring payment this will keep running until cancelled and will keep your lottery membership in credit, so that you don’t have to worry about renewing. You can cancel your recurring payment at any time by contacting your card provider or bank accordingly. If you choose to cancel your recurring payment we would be grateful if you could also notify the Lottery office so that we can amend our records.

The regular donations we receive from our loyal Lottery players help us to future-proof our Hospice, whilst also giving us a chance to give back to you, our amazing supporters.
When the pandemic hit, we had to cancel or postpone our fundraising events and close our shops for months on end, but alongside our regular givers, our Lottery gave us the financial security we needed.
A huge THANK YOU to all of our Lottery players, past, present and future, for helping us to be there for local families.
