Background
The lottery was formed in 1996 as a means of providing a secure and predictable income stream to help fund the annual running costs of the hospice. We currently receive funding from the government to cover 40.5 days of the year and it is down to us to fund the other 323.5 days.
Members
The current number of lottery members exceeds 12,000, representing an excellent growth from our first membership draw of 3000 members. We decided that after 10 years it was time to give the lottery a face lift changing our logo and image - we hope you like the bright new look.
Running costs
The costs of running Dove House Hospice increase every year. Our target for 2007 is a 10% increase in lottery members playing every week, which in turn will create additional, much needed income for the hospice.
Contribution
To put the achievement of the weekly draw into context, 1 in every 6 patient’s care is funded through the income generated by the weekly draw!
The weekly draw has contributed over £2.7 million to date and exceeded £355,000 profit last year, all going directly back to the provision and development of services.
Our core values
Integrity and responsibility
The hospice works hard to maintain public trust by protecting and ensuring the security of our lottery games, systems and operational facilities. We value and require ethical behaviour by our employees and partners and promote the integrity of the lottery for the benefit of Dove House Hospice.
Innovation
We aim to be innovative with our products and offerings and pursue the use of technology that enhances the service we provide to our customers and reduces our operating costs
