Saint Catherine’s launches spring raffle in aid of patient care

Saint Catherine’s has launched a spring cash raffle in aid of patient care – with a top prize of £2,500!

The raffle will be drawn on Thursday 16 March 2023 and the prizes are as follows:

• First prize – £2,500
• Second prize – £250
• Third prize – 5 x £50

The raffle is being supported by Rebecca Abberstein, of Wold Newton, whose husband Sam passed away in 2021 after receiving care at home from Saint Catherine’s.

Rebecca said: “Over Sam’s last four days at home the sheer amount of people involved was phenomenal and all worked so hard to get him as comfortable as possible. I know everyone says that hospice staff are wonderful, but I was genuinely blown away at how hard everyone worked.”

Richard Barwick, fundraising operations team leader, said: “One of the ways you can help support Saint Catherine’s is by taking part in our spring raffle. Every ticket sold will help us raise much-needed funds to provide our specialist end-of-life services.

“It costs around £5 million a year to run all of our services. With just a third of our funding available from the government, we need to raise around £8,000 a day, so every pound counts and is very much appreciated.”

Tickets, priced at £1 each, or books of 20, are on sale now and can be ordered online at www.saintcatherines.org.uk/online-shop/ or by contacting the fundraising team on (01723) 378406 or emailing fundraising@saintcatherines.org.uk
