Hoorah for the new Birmingham Community Lottery
Have you heard?
Birmingham Voluntary Service Council, the centre for voluntary action in the city, has teamed up with an established charity lottery scheme. We are one of the initial 90 charities involved.
From March, people can buy lottery tickets through our special page (£1 each) with a chance to win a £25,000 prize each month.
..and the good news is we, the Gardens Trust, get 50p of every ticket bought through our special webpage.
The independent Birmingham scheme is set up to support local community projects and operates on the principle of raising money within the community for the community, to empower local good causes to raise money in a fun and effective way. In a time of shrinking budgets and increased community need, Birmingham Community Lottery enables people to support the causes they care most about, helping good causes to connect with their supporters.
Here’s how it works
- Every ticket is £1.
- You can buy as one-off payments (minimum 5 weeks) or by direct debit (online or by phone)
- There are just 9 numbers in the range – so really good odds on winning
- The Draw takes place every week
- There are 6 prizes from ‘3 extra tickets’ to £5, £25, £250, £2000 and £250,000
Obviously, there are many charities which really deserve your support and hard earned £1s, but we hope you will be able to support us by buying tickets through our lottery portal, as often as you can.
Why support us?
Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens provides a much loved and valued space and service for the community.
We are a very tiny Trust with a really big responsibility to look after, and share, a unique green and historic space in east Birmingham.
The 40 acres of sublime 18th century formal Gardens and Local Nature Reserve are surrounded by fast roads and industrial landscapes.
We are passionate about sharing its beauty with people and caring for it for nature and wildlife .
As well as opening the spaces for visitors all year round, staff and volunteers run more than 100 activities and events : from forest schools and wildlife walks to creative activities and culture:theatre, arts and music.
We get people involved in caring for nature, improving their wellbeing and finding inspiration in history and beauty.
The Trust receives no regular funding support and works hard, in every way possible, to raise the £1,000 per day, per year that it takes to maintain and share the nationally significant Grade 2* Gardens and landscape.
We need your help so we can continue to keep this precious place for people.
Thank you for your support and good luck!
If lottery is your thing, do consider helping us in this way.
