There are lots of ways to support The Meadows. From playing the lottery to shopping with Give as You Live, here’s how you can raise extra funds for us.
Raise funds with a chance of winning £25,000 through Unity Lottery
Unity is the nation’s fundraising lottery scheme. It’s designed to give us the chance to gain support and raise valuable funds through our own weekly lottery draw. You can play for as little as £1 per week. 50p of every £1 you play is guaranteed to go straight to us, and the remaining 50p will be used to provide prizes and cover administration costs.
How it works and how to join in
For just £1 per week, you will be allocated a six-digit The Meadows Lottery number. This will remain yours for as long as you keep playing. You can purchase more than one number if you wish.
Every Friday, the lucky winners are selected at random. Prize cheques are then issued and posted directly to you, so there is no need to claim. You must be 18 or over to enter.
