 Keeps Working

The Nations Charity Lottery continues to raise charities money.  Two more charities have broken the £1000 raised barrier.  Bobath Children’s Therapy Centre, and Hospice at Home West Cumbria are benefiting from having a consistent weekly income.  Even after reaching this amazing total the two charities will not be sitting back and relaxing, and I'm sure all of them will be pushing for the £5000 mark over the coming months.

Congratulations to the two charities, and good luck for your future fundraising.  Unity is growing every week, so I am sure that these two won't be the last to reach the £1000 mark.

PDS Reach £10,000

Parkinson's Disease Society have become the first charity to reach the £10,000 mark.  Since they joined Unity in the summer of 2007 they have raised over £10,000 and have amassed over 625 members who play every week.  Which is why they have raised this huge sum in just over a year. Our congratulations go out to everybody at the Parkinson's Disease Sociey and well done to all who have put the time and effort in to reach this magic target.

Since it's launch last summer Unity has written profit cheques for it's clients totally over £10,000. Many Unity clients are relatively new and are in the process of developing their promotional campaigns. The amount of money raised for good causes next year will be much greater. For every £1 entry Unity pays 50p profit back to the players chosen charity. Profit cheques are then distributed to charities and fundraising organisations on a monthly basis.

Standard promotional leaflets and posters have been designed to assist charities in recruiting supporters. On signing up you would be issued with marketing notes to help you plan a successful promotional campaign.  

Unity Lottery has recently sent out two winners cheques for £1,000. The lucky winners were playing to support the Parkinson's Disease Society and AID Fundraiser 2000.

The odds of winning a prize are 1 in 63. This can be a good selling point as your supporters will not only be guaranteed that 50p from every £1 goes directly to their chosen charity they also have a good chance of winning a prize. 

Unity Lottery and their parent company Sterling exhibited at several exhibitions this summer. Infact we may have spoken to you!Special prize draws were held at the Charityfair in June and The Institute of Fundraising in July, the prize at both events was a £100 donation to your chosen charity.

Unique - the rare chromosome support charity won the Charityfair draw. Julie Griffin, Finance and Fundraising officer for Unique said “The donation will be put towards the cost of our family conference held in Daventry in November, where over 200 families will be able to meet up and learn more about rare chromosome disorders in a relaxed and social setting. To help raise funds for the conference and for our other many services, we were already considering setting up a charity lottery, so winning Sterling’s free prize draw is a wonderful added bonus”
