As well as a top prize of £1,000, there are also cash prizes of £500 and £250 available, plus 11 runner-up prizes of £25.

Sarah Wakeman, Senior Fundraising Manager at The Shakespeare Hospice, said: “At The Shakespeare Hospice, we’re here to make sure that those who are affected by life-limiting conditions don’t face their journey alone — from the moment of diagnosis, through every stage of care, right to the very end. Our clinical team don’t just step in at the final stages. They are there early on, offering advice, reassurance, and practical support.

“And it’s not just nursing care. Thanks to our supporters, we also offer services that bring people together for companionship, creative therapies, counselling, and a break from the isolation that life-limiting conditions can bring.

“Every ticket bought in our 2025 Sizzling Summer Raffle helps fund this kind of care — the kind that sees the whole person, not just their condition. It helps us be there for their loved ones, too, offering support and guidance when they’re struggling to cope. Not only could participants win a fantastic prize — but the real reward is knowing they’ve helped someone feel safe, supported, and never alone.”

People can enter the raffle by purchasing tickets via The Shakespeare Hospice website: TheShakespeareHospice.org.uk/Raffle.

The closing date for the raffle is 22nd August and the draw will be held on 4th September 2025.
