Paying through your company payroll is really simple way to play the Hospice lottery.
Each week there are 51 winners…the first prize is £1,000 with fifty follow up prizes of £10, and it is just £1 a week to play. All the money raised goes towards patient care and so far the Hospice Lottery has raised over £100,000.
Paying to play the Hospice Lottery through your payroll means the money is deducted from your pay. So, for example if you are paid monthly you would have £4.34 deducted from your salary each month.
You can increase the amount of numbers you have in the lottery or opt out at any time, you are under no obligations at all.
The Hospice will provide forms to send to all staff for them to fill out in order to join or come to the staff canteen or reception to help recruit. The Hospice team will then liaise directly with the payroll dept.
All the payroll department needs to do is set up the deductions to come out of the staff’s payroll and be paid into the Hospice Lottery bank account (Sort Code 403426 Account Number 11620525) weekly or monthly, and then send a spreadsheet of payments to our lottery agent (cjohnson@sterlinglotteries.co.uk). The player will then receive their own personal lottery number and will be entered directly into the draw every week.
Companies which already do this include Isle of Wight Council, Trucast and Liz Earle Cosmetics.
