Local residents now have a chance to win a brand new Kia Rio for just £2 in the St Richard’s Hospice raffle, launched this week.
Jayne Sargeant, St Richard’s Community Fundraiser said, “This is a great way to support the hospice and also be in with a chance to win a fantastic prize! Imagine hearing the news you have won a brand new car – if you buy a ticket that could be you! The raffle is very popular and last year raised more than £40,000 towards our care. We are hoping it will prove just as successful this year.”
Ticket sales from the raffle to win the car will help raise funds to help St Richard’s provide compassionate care to patients living with life-threatening illnesses and support for their loved ones and carers.
Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased from St Richard’s Hospice shops in the county; St Richard’s Hospice in Wildwood Drive, Worcester and at a variety of venues in the coming months or by telephoning the Fundraising Department on 01905 763963. You can also buy tickets online at www.strichards.org.uk/car-raffle
The raffle is kindly sponsored by Edwards Motors, Worcester Racecourse, Gemini ARC; Droitwich Print and The Valley.
The raffle prize includes a 3 years’ servicing package and the winner can choose the colour of the car. The draw will take place on 31st March, 2016.
St Richard’s Hospice provides free specialist palliative care for patients living with life-threatening illnesses and supports their families. Each year the hospice team supports over 2,600 patients and family members in Worcestershire with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect.
Patients are cared for in Day Hospice, the 17-bed In-patient Unit or in their own homes by a specialist professional team as well as many trained volunteers.
In the In-patient Unit, specialist staff are on hand 24 hours a day to manage patients’ symptoms and where, if appropriate, patients may spend the last few days of life in comfort and dignity. St Richard’s is an independent charity and is grateful for all donations to help it to continue its work.
