A WREXHAM hospice is set to make someone's summer, while seeing its own funds boosted too.

Nightingale House Hospice has announced their Summer Super Draw, taking place on Friday, June 21. This annual event not only offers participants a chance to win incredible prizes but also supports the vital care and support the hospice provides to people in the community.

Mrs James, the winner of the Nightingale House Christmas Super Draw in 2023, shared how winning the Christmas Super Draw made a difference to her.

She said: "Winning the Christmas Super Draw made the world of difference to me! I was so lucky to win £3,000 on the Nightingale House Lottery, and I put it towards going on a holiday of a lifetime to Singapore, Australia, and a 13-day cruise around New Zealand. It was a definite windfall.

"I support the hospice as I have had cancer myself and know so many people who have been supported by the hospice movement. Without this facility to support people, the outcome for many at their lowest would be so different. Giving to this charity makes a difference to so many, and if, like me, you are lucky enough to win, it can make a difference to you too."

This year's Summer Super Draw offers a top prize of £5,000. Amanda Kinsey, lottery promotions manager, added: "We are so grateful for the ongoing support we receive from our lottery supporters and the wider community with our annual Super Draws. Your support means that year on year, the Summer Super Draw raises an average of £30,000 towards patient care. Thank you! Don't forget, you need to be in it to win it!"

Playing the lottery and participating in the Summer Super Draw significantly contribute to the hospice's funding. In 2023, these meaningful contributions accounted for 11% of the hospice's income, amounting to £433,653. This year, Nightingale House hopes to reach £466,798. Nationally, lotteries provide a 7% income for hospices, according to a 2023 report by Hospice UK, highlighting the local community's exceptional support for Nightingale House.
