Dr Kershaw’s to celebrate its 20th anniversary lottery draw with £20,000 worth of prizes to be won

With this year marking the 20th anniversary of Dr Kershaw’s Hospice Lottery, the team wanted to do something unique to celebrate with the local community, so are running an extra special draw offering £20,000 worth of incredible prizes.

The star prize will be a luxury cruise available for two people.

The star prize of a £10,000 Luxury Nordic Cruise was generously donated to Dr Kershaw’s Hospice, with the help and support of Freedom Travel.

This prize also includes return rail travel to London, with an overnight stay prior to boarding kindly donated by Freedom Travel, which is on 54 High Street in Uppermill, along with £500 spending money.

The winner of this fantastic prize will be departing from London Tilbury Docks on the Northern Lights Expedition Cruise on November 11, 2023, travelling up to Tromso in the Arctic Circle, returning on November 25, 2023.

This 15-day getaway is for two people and will see the lucky winner and their guest cruising along Norwegian Fjords, visiting charming towns and cities, exploring up close and in comfort aboard MS Maud.

All meals and meal-time beverages are included in the prize, as well as escorted expeditions along the way.

Joanne Penketh, Hospice Head of Lottery and Donor Stewardship, said: “Since our first Draw back in October 2003, our lottery supporters have generated over £5 million for patient care.

"What a staggering amount of money!

"With your help, we can continue to be there for people living with life limiting illness in these difficult times.

"We are thrilled to be able to offer you the chance to win such incredible prizes in our 20th Anniversary Draw, and if our star prize doesn’t float your boat, why not give yourself a chance to be the lucky winner of one of nine additional cash prizes ranging from £5,000 to £50.”

Gerry Yiatrou, from Freedom Travel, added: “Freedom Travel is thrilled to collaborate with Dr Kershaw’s Hospice, creating memorable experinces whilst making a difference and helping to raise much needed funds.”

Joanne added: “Each ticket costs just £1.

"Your support in this draw really does mean so much.

"Your £20 could help support a patient’s breathing by providing vital oxygen.

"Your £30 could help someone grieving for a loved one through bereavement counselling.

"Your £40 could pay for one hour of nursing care for a patient on our In-Patient Unit.”

All funds raised from the Lottery’s 20th Anniversary Draw go direct to Dr Kershaw’s Hospice and each ticket purchased will contribute to providing vital care and support for patients and their loved ones, giving you a chance to win and a way to care.
