Summer Raffle 2021 Winners Announced!

We are very pleased to announce that the Helen Rollason Cancer Charity Summer Raffle has raised an incredible £3,700 for the charity!

The raffle was drawn on Friday 27th August and the first prize of £250 was awarded to ‘Phillip’ who kindly donated his winnings straight back to the charity. 

Our second prize winner of the Summer Hamper went to Ms Tania O’Brien from Harlow.

Third prize of the Beach hut hire for the day went to Mr Richard Baranowski from Boreham.

Helen Rollason Cancer Charity Marketing Coordinator Holly Butler said; “Congratulations to all of our raffle winners and a huge thank you to everyone who took part in our Summer Raffle and bought a ticket.

We are delighted to have raised over £3,700 which is enough money to fund 148 counselling appointments. The work we do really does make a difference;

“I am so grateful for being introduced to this wonderful service and charity and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others facing cancer.” – client quote.

Our Raffle draw is a fun and yet valuable way in which to help our charity enable quality of life while living with cancer. We are delighted for our winners and we would like to thank them for taking part and supporting us.

Make sure to mark October 2021 in your diaries, when we will be releasing details for our 2021 Winter raffle draw where there’ll be another cash prize up for grabs!”
