WE LOVE MAKING SMILES
Raising funds for local causes
We run a weekly lottery draw in support of local causes including Wessex Heartbeat. It costs just £1 per week to play and lottery members are making a difference to people in their local community who benefit from the fantastic local causes that we support. We love making smiles.


100% of proceeds to charity
Reducing Overheads for Local Charities
By working with local causes in this way rather than setting up their own lotteries, overheads and costs are kept to a minimum so more funds can be used for charitable purposes. Our members choose which local cause they wish to support with their membership.
You can either play by setting up a direct debit for £4.34 a month
This is really easy, as it covers you for all 52 weekly draws throughout the year!

OUR HISTORY
Make a smile lottery began its life in July 2017, with our first charity partner Wessex Heartbeat. Our team, based at St Helena Hospice in Colchester have over 16 years experience in running and administering Your Hospice Lottery. In that time a total of £8 million has been raised for hospice care.
We have now launched make a smile lottery from our same Colchester offices, which will support registered charities. We are delighted to be able to bring our knowledge and expertise of running a lottery to the rest of the charitable sector.
