Alison's Idea for Christmas Presents


My name is Alison Carrington, I've worked at Hospice in the Weald for nearly 8 months and every day I am inspired by the people I meet here. I have personal experience, through both family and friends, of the fantastic care provided by the staff and volunteers here at the Hospice. This care is something that I want to make sure is available to as many people as possible in our local area and that is why, as part of the fundraising team, I am passionate about helping to raise money for the Hospice.

My role is as co-ordinator of our Hospice weekly lottery and my challenge is to grow the number of people in our lottery from 7,500 to 18,000.  Our lottery is a really important means of fundraising for the Hospice because it brings in regular income, which allows us to plan ahead for the services we offer. The lottery currently brings in around £310k per year (after the prizes have been allocated) and my dream is for this to increase to around £850K.


£310,000 makes a huge difference to the lives of patients with a terminal illness that have been referred to Hospice in the Weald, their families and carers.  This amount of money can fund the cost of running our In-Patient Unit AND Hospice in the Home for 6 weeks!

If you are looking for a fun way to support the Hospice on a regular basis, then please consider either signing up to our weekly lottery or buying a Hospice Lottery Gift Voucher for a loved one for Christmas.

Our Hospice lottery costs just £1 per week, for this you are allocated a computer generated unique membership number, which is entered into the draw every Friday. This number gives a chance to win one of 43 prizes every week, our top prize of £1000, 2nd prize of £200, 3rd prize of £100 and 40 prizes of £5.
Hospice Lottery Gift Vouchers are available for  £26 or £52 and can be purchased directly from Hospice in the Weald, Maidstone Road, Pembury, Tunbridge wells, Kent TN2 4TA or by contacting Alison Carrington on 01892 820588 or alison.carrington@hospiceintheweald.org.uk

Once purchased we will supply you with a Hospice Lottery Gift Voucher with your unique membership number on, you then add your own personal message and put the voucher in the gift envelope we provide.
A simple and fun present with the chance of winning a fantastic prize!

Be one of the amazing people who help us provide our Hospice care to local people with terminal illnesses, their families and carers.

By playing our weekly Hospice lottery you will be supporting a local charity, as well as having the chance to win one of our fantastic cash prizes.

Pick up a leaflet at Hospice in the Weald on your next visit or contact Alison Carrington on the details above for your chance to enter.
