On Friday December 18, the Hertmere’s Community Lottery turns five.
Because it is such a special day, the Lottery is offering one lucky good cause the chance to win £500 in a special Birthday Good Cause Draw.
To enter and win the £500, local charities, community groups, sport clubs, and parent teacher associations need to sign up before Thursday 17 December.
Joining is free and, once registered, supporters can choose their own good cause. They can then buy lottery tickets, and help their favourite organisation fund equipment, activities, and day-to-day running costs.
The celebrations also offer the perfect opportunity for organisations already part of the Lottery to remind supporters about the difference their tickets make. They can use the birthday campaign as an opportunity to share their lottery page, promote their cause on social media or newsletter, and encourage new supporters to get involved. Even a few new players can help increase the funding an organisation receives throughout the year.
Cllr Christian Gray, portfolio holder for Communities, Neighbourhoods, Enforcement, Economic Development and Transformation says: “In five years, the Lottery has gone from strength to strength, raising money for good causes in Hertsmere.
“Every ticket played helps make a difference, with at least 50p from every £1 ticket going directly to a local good cause.
“I urge more local organisation to get involved – there are no set-up costs or admin fees and great prizes for supporters.”
