Run a Raffle for St Nic’s

Our aim? To have at least four raffles running each month, somewhere in our community, each raising at least £250, but hopefully more.

Simply choose your draw date and order your raffle tickets today, by filling in the form below.
St Nicholas Hospice (Suffolk) is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission, under account number 5004.
Important considerations before deciding on how you will run your raffle
- An event with set dates – from and to – Cloakroom tickets can be sold here, as long as they are only sold within the time-frame of the event. (If you want to sell tickets for a few weeks ahead of event, please see below). The pricing of the cloakroom tickets has now changed to non-restricted. Ie: You can sell 50p each or 5 for £2.00. Also, the draw can now be made after the event, but must be within a couple of days – this date MUST be stated on all promotional items.ie: posters, online, etc. There is now no age restriction on selling tickets to under 16 years old too.
- A longer event with a raffle running over a number of days or weeks – Please use the raffle request form, so that we can supply you with pre-printed raffle tickets which will comply with Gambling Commission regulations.
- You MUST be OVER 16 to pay, play or sell raffle tickets – bear this in mind for where and how you want to sell your tickets.
- Raffles are ideal for fetes, balls, large groups or fundraising events organised by businesses or associations who can spread the word wide and promote across social media.
