Just £1 per week helps people like Steve
When Steve was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, he was referred to the Hospice for pain relief and support with his terminal illness.
He says, "There is no thank you big enough for everything the team at Saint Francis Hospice have done for me. The doctors, nurses and care teams showed me what I had lost. If I had not come into the Hospice in the first place, I would have been struggling at home."

Winners are selected by our External Lottery Manager, Sterling Management Centre Limited using a random number generator that has been tested and certified by an independent, Gambling Commission-approved test house.
Prizes are awarded in order of selection (the first number drawn will be awarded the top prize, the second number drawn will receive 2nd prize, and so on).

Direct Debits are collected once a month, so the additional £0.34 is to build up enough credit to cover the fifth week on the five-week months.
