Each week supporters will have the opportunity to win one of 37 cash prizes: 1st Prize: £2k, 2nd Prize: £1k and 35 guaranteed Runner-up Prizes: 5 x £20, 10 x £10 and 20 x £5.

Eleanor McEwan, general manager commented: “All the money we raise through the weekly lottery will go towards making a difference to the lives of young families in Aberdeen who are struggling to cope. Demand for our services is increasing and every day Home-Start Aberdeen’s trained volunteers are providing compassionate, confidential, emotional and practical support to families.
“Fundraising is always challenging, but even more so since the start of the pandemic with restrictions on fundraising events and other activities. The weekly lottery adds an additional fundraising stream to our income and we hope to encourage local people to get behind it, take part and help us make a difference. Our goal is to help families create a secure, loving home environment where children can grow up happy, healthy, confident and able to achieve their potential.”
For over 30 years Home-Start Aberdeen has been supporting vulnerable families across the city to prevent family crisis and breakdown. Support is provided via carefully selected and trained volunteers who are there for families, providing them with compassionate and confidential help.
