CHAS supporters given chance to win 'trip of a lifetime' in holiday prize draw to support charity
The prize draw has been organised thanks to funds given by a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous, with all proceeds from the ticket sales going directly to CHAS
Supporters of a Scottish children's charity are in with a chance to win 'the trip of a lifetime' in a holiday prize draw aimed at raising crucial funds.
Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) is giving its backers the opportunity to bag a sun-soaked holiday.
The initiative has been set up thanks to a kind-hearted donation from an anonymous benefactor.
With tickets priced at just £25, participants have three chances to secure their ideal getaway – the top prize being a £20,000 holiday voucher, followed by a second prize of a £12,000 voucher and a third prize of an £8,000 voucher.
Every penny from the ticket sales will be funnelled directly into CHAS, enabling them to carry on their work aiding children with life-limiting conditions and their families throughout Scotland.
The prize draw is open until December 19, when the winners will be selected and announced.
Ruathy Donald, CHAS Community Fundraiser, expressed excitement about the draw: "We are delighted to offer our supporters the opportunity to win not one but three amazing holidays of their choosing, in this draw which is being run to raise valuable funds for CHAS. "We are truly grateful to the anonymous donor for making this possible. Thanks must also go to CHAS fundraising volunteer Jackie Campbell and her J-Bay Team for organising this prize draw for us.
"There are a limited number of tickets so I would advise anyone interested to buy their tickets now before they all sell out."
CHAS is dedicated to providing integrated palliative and end-of-life care.
In addition to providing respite care for the entire family at its two hospices – Rachel House in Kinross and Robin House in Balloch, CHAS also operates an outreach team across every local authority area. This team provides highly skilled nursing care for children in their own homes, along with a comprehensive family support service.
This includes social work, income maximisation, energy advice, spiritual and bereavement support, transition to adult services for those aged 16–21, and therapeutic play.
Furthermore, there is a joint CHAS/NHS specialist team in every children's hospital across Scotland, and the only specialist Paediatric Palliative Medicine posts in Scotland are funded by CHAS.
