Going once, going twice… A charity raffle is a great way to raise even more money at an event
Get in touch
Before you start a raffle, you’ll need a letter of authority from us to prove that you’re fundraising for a charity - just pop us an email and we’ll write one for you.
You could hold the raffle as part of a bigger event, like a quiz night or ball.
Email events@centrepoint.org to let us know when you’re planning your event so that we can provide support and resources in the lead up to it.
Pick your prizes
Ask local businesses, friends and family if they’d be willing to donate items to the raffle. If you’re looking for ideas; local attractions, restaurant vouchers, hairdressers, or sports clubs for match tickets are all great prizes!
Spend less than £100 of the proceeds organising the raffle, and less than £500 on prizes (so it’s best to ask for donations).
Sell your tickets
Sell your raffle tickets throughout the night, tickets must be sold at the same price to everybody and must be sold only at the event, and the prize draw must take place at the event too.
Choose the winners
Pick raffle tickets out of a hat at the end of a night and call out the numbers, then hand out the prizes to the winners.
We’d recommend taking a quick look at the legal requirements for raffles and competitions. Just visit the Gambling Commission website.
