Chailey Heritage Foundation launches lottery to help raise funds for its work

Chailey Heritage Foundation, which provides education, care and transition services for children and young people with complex physical disabilities and health needs, has launched the lottery to help boost funds.

Entry is £1 a week and prizes range from £25 to £25,000.

Nina Gopal, head of fundraising at Chailey Heritage, said: “We are very excited to be launching our weekly lottery.

“Many of our fundraising events in 2020 have been cancelled because of Covid-19.

“However, we are very fortunate at Chailey Heritage to have the support of so many people and we truly appreciate every one of them.

“The lottery is a new way of enabling people to help us as we continue to transform lives at Chailey Heritage.

“Yes, the lockdown has changed the way we work, but the care and happiness of our young people remains paramount.”

Participants can sign up to the lottery by using the Unity fundraising platform, and will be given a unique six-digit number.

The prize draw takes place every Friday and winners must match three, four, five or six digits of the winning number in the correct place in the sequence.

At least 50 pence from every £1 will go to the Chailey Heritage Foundation.

The other 50p is used to provide prizes and cover administration.

Nina said: “This means that we can continue to support our children and young people without any ongoing cost.”

“Winners will be notified by Unity every Friday, so there is no need to claim.

“Participants must be age 18 or over and live in Great Britain, and the most entries someone can buy in a one draw is two.

“You cannot buy tickets on someone else’s behalf.”
