“The thank you event was a great success,” said Lottery Manager Stacey Booth. “The event was held to say a big thank you to all our lottery members who are supporting us.”

After a welcome and photographs, over 40 lottery supporters enjoyed tea and cake, including a fabulous cake donated by Karens Kakes in Welling which had the number twenty-five on it in recognition of the Hospice’s 25th Anniversary.

Afterwards, Hospice Chief Executive Kate Heaps chatted to supporters and thanked them for their continued support.

The event highlighted the importance of lottery members continued support with many members saying, as much as it would be nice to win a cash prize their main reason for playing the Hospice Lottery is to contribute towards the special care that the hospice provides.

The total prize fund comes from the sale of lottery tickets, with the remaining money raised going towards the £16,500 daily running costs of the Hospice.
