The motorbike raffle prize draw took place at Weston Hospicecare’s Jackson-Barstow House on 6 April 2022. The draw happened in the company of Tony, his wife Kathy and staff members.
Member of the Fundraising Team served as independent adjudicators to ensure the draw followed raffle regulations.
The hospice are incredibly grateful to Tony and to all of the supporters who bought tickets. The amazing amount raised from the incredible donation will go directly towards supporting the hospice’s work.
It costs £4.5million to run the hospice each year and only 20% is granted by the government. Hospice supporters are heavily relied on to raise the outstanding 80% through fundraising activity and revenue generated in charity shops.
Weston Hospicecare gives care to people in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset and Sedgemoor, with a life-limiting illness.
