Win a bumper £500 in cash
YOU can show your support for Highland Hospice – and give yourself a chance of winning a bumper cash prize – by taking part in Hospice Lucky Numbers.
The easy-to-enter cash draw is being launched as a way of raising funds for hospice services in your local area while also providing a regular cash windfall for a lucky reader.
A specially printed six-digit number will appear inside each individual copy of your Strathspey and Badenoch Herald. Readers simply text us their unique number before the published closing date, and a winning combination will be picked at random.
Each week we will contact the winner – the reader whose number exactly matches that week's randomly chosen six-digit sequence.
Full details of how enter will appear on page 2 of each edition, and winners' names will be announced each week. Texts cost £1 each, with proceeds split equally between Highland Hospice and the cash prize. The weekly prize fund will be a minimum of £500.
For 25 years Highland Hospice has been providing support across the region to people with incurable life-limiting illnesses. As well as the ?10-bed inpatient unit in Inverness, there are day hospice services in Inverness, Portree, Dornoch, Thurso and Fort William, and an outreach bereavement service to support family and friends.
Its work is supported by a network of 11 local shops – located in Inverness, Nairn, Forres, Grantown-on-Spey, Aviemore, Fort William, Alness, Tain, Wick, Thurso and Portree.
Highland Hospice requires over £3.9 million each year to keep its services running and no charge is made to any patient or their family. Around a third of the funding comes from the NHS, but the hospice relies on the generosity of the public to help raise the rest.
By entering Hospice Lucky Numbers, not only do you have the chance to win a tidy sum for yourself – you are helping to raise the huge amount of money needed to continue offering hospice services in your community.
