Over the past few months, we've shared stories of our monthly £1,000 Staff Lottery winners and their plans to spend their winnings.

Now we draw near to the time when colleagues need to join the lottery ahead of the big draw in November, which could see them win a jackpot £5,000.

Your application must be received before Friday, 5th April to be included in the draw for November. You will also be included in the normal monthly draws from May.

You can apply via the Staff Lottery intranet pages. Good luck!

Apply for funding from the Staff Lottery

If there is something on your department’s wish list and you don’t have charitable funds to pay for it, maybe the Staff Lottery can help, as a proportion of the monies paid in goes towards funding bids.

It should not be an item which the Trust should purchase through normal expenditure.  If the item is for the benefit of patients or staff and is no more than £5,000 – you could make a bid for it through the Staff Lottery Committee.

Recent successful bids have been for a dishwasher in Trust offices at CRH, a replacement bench at HRI, table and chairs in Orthopaedic Outpatients and a fridge in Radiology.
