LOCAL SOLICITORS HOPE FOR HOSPICE LOTTERY SUCCESS

Staff at a local firm of solicitors have recently become disillusioned with their syndicate’s lack of success at playing the National Lottery and have decided to chance their luck with the local Pendleside Hospice Lottery.

The syndicate at Baldwin Wyatt Solicitors at 24 Hammerton Street in Burnley have dedicated their pound each week to help the Reedley based hospice.  The amount that they may win on the Hospice Lottery is unlikely to mean that they can all retire on their winnings but they have the satisfaction of knowing that their help is improving the quality of life of people in the local community.

The Pendleside Hospice Lottery is a weekly membership lottery.  It costs just £1 for each number entered and there are 33 cash prizes to be won each week.  There is a first prize of £1,000, second prize of £250, third prize of £100 and 30 prizes of £5.  Around 6,000 play the Hospice Lottery each week meaning that the odds of winning a cash prize are much higher than the National Lottery but also generating an income of around £185,000 per year for the hospice.

Pendleside hospice provides care to local people suffering from cancer and other life limiting illnesses.  The cost of providing care increases year on year in response to demand for services.  Current annual running costs exceed £2.85 million, of which, more than £2 million has to be raised from fundraising initiatives such as the lottery as well as donations.

Anyone over the age of sixteen can play the Hospice Lottery and more information is available by telephoning the Lottery Office at the Hospice on 01282 440121.

If you would be interested in setting up a syndicate at your work place or would like to act as a collector for individual players subscriptions within your work place or neighbourhood contact the Lottery and Administration Manager, Mr John Calvert who will be delighted to discuss all the benefits of playing the Pendleside Hospice Lottery.  He says

“We are delighted that Baldwin Wyatt Solicitors have decided to support us in this way.  It really is an easy way to support the hospice as well as offering the chance to win a cash prize.” 

The Pendleside Hospice lottery is a weekly membership lottery.
