The lightbulb moment that raised £70 million

Chief Executive Officer

Gary

"The idea was born in a car journey on the way back from a conference with myself and a colleague. It was a light-bulb moment. Still gives me shivers up my spine when I think about it."

Fundraising for the Local Hospice Lottery

Top Fundraiser

Kim

"I’m never in one place for more than a few days at a time. You get to meet such lovely people. You’re never alone, because you’re part of a team wherever you are. It’s very, very flexible."

A lifeline for local children and families

Hospice Manager

Paola

"Our partnership with the Local Hospice Lottery is absolutely essential. It raises approximately £280,000 a year for Haven House and without those funds, we simply couldn't do what we do."
