Our Story:

We began life in 1996 as Farleigh Hospice’s own lottery – a way of generating a regular and reliable income to help fund the care of people affected by cancer and other life limiting illnesses across mid Essex. After eleven years of running the weekly draw, the decision was made to develop the Lottery for the benefit of hospice care in other areas across Great Britain.

Today, Local Hospice Lottery exists to be the leading lottery for hospices, providing additional funding and opportunities for growth by inspiring people to support their local hospice in a fair, open and affordable way. We have raised over £35 million for hospice care to date and were finalists in the ‘Most Committed Company to the Sector’ category of the Institute of Fundraising Awards in 2020.

The business has ambitious growth plans, with the launch of a new strategy in 2020 and five new partner Hospices coming on board in he last year alone as they look for new and sustainable ways to raise income.

We understand that our people are at the heart of this truly wonderful business with a big mission and with the launch of a brand new People and Culture Strategy this is where you come in…
