Charity Raffle 2015

About the Raffle

DM Thomas Foundation for Young People (formerly Hilton in the Community Foundation) is proud to run the 2015 National Raffle in partnership with Regus. Now in its 6th year, the Raffle raises charity funds for Debra, Macmillan and DMTF, thanks to sales of tickets by Regus centres and participating hotels in the UK.

The Charity Raffle 2013 will raise funds for this year’s three nominated charities in the UK: DMTFYP, DEBRA and Macmillan.

This nationwide Raffle was established in 2009 and has raised more than £65,000 in total. These funds have been distributed evenly amongst the three receiving charities, Debra, Macmillan and HCF, with the Duke of Edinburgh Award receiving a portion of funds raised in 2009.

The funds raised through the Raffle provide substantial financial support for the charities, in addition to increased awareness which comes from collective fundraising. Increased coverage of this annual event can add value to our business, endorse the work of charities, raise the profile of their projects and help bring community issues to greater attention.

Tickets are £1 each (£10 per book of 10). The Raffle excludes Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, due to local charity laws.
