Every £1 raised through the raffle will help support the important work of Saint Michael’s Hospice.

Saint Michael’s is the local hospice care charity supporting people and families affected by terminal illness across the Harrogate district. They provide personalised, compassionate care both from their hospice at Hornbeam Park and within the community, including in people’s own homes.

Their work is centred around making sure everyone receives care that is responsive to their individual needs, helping people and their families through what can be an incredibly difficult time.

We are proud to be able to raise money for Saint Michael’s in David’s memory, and incredibly grateful to the local businesses who have donated prizes to help us make the raffle possible.

For just £1 per ticket, you could win a wonderful prize while helping us support a very important local charity.

Thank you for helping us make this fundraiser about more than just a celebration and for helping us remember David in such a meaningful way. ❤️
