The Oldham Community Lottery is fantastic fundraising channel, which voluntary and community organisations based in Oldham have been taking advantage of through registering as a 'Good Cause', allowing supporters to give regularly and with ease!
Supporters who sign up to play the Oldham Community Lottery will be given the opportunity to select which registered Good Causes they would like to support, and these organisations will receive proceeds from the ticket sales.
Since launching in July 2023, the Oldham Community Lottery has had 51 organisations register as Good Causes, one of which being the Spoons Neonatal Family Support.
Spoons Neonatal Family Support are an incredible asset to the community, as they aim is to alleviate stress and reduce the isolation of families who experience neonatal care.
Since joining the Oldham Community Lottery in August 2023, Spoons Neonatal Family Support have raised £190! (Figure dated December 2023)
We caught up with Amy Town, Fundraising and Communications at Spoons, to share their experience of the Oldham Community Lottery and how the funds have been used to support them.
"We saw the Oldham Community Lottery as an opportunity to offer our community of supporters another way to help Spoons, and something we'd not tried before. After speaking to a couple of other organisations involved we thought we would trial it as simple way of generating some regular income.
The funds raised have gone towards our services supporting families in Greater Manchester who are experiencing neonatal care. Spoons’ team of skilled staff and volunteers help to reduce the stress, isolation and worry felt by families going through neonatal care. Through our advice and information, peer support, resource packs, trauma therapy, support groups, advocacy, community activity groups and much more, Spoons offers the practical and emotional support needed by families experiencing neonatal care."
The Oldham Community Lottery encourages volunteer and community organisations based within Oldham to register to become a 'Good Cause', and raise vital funds through incentivised giving today!
"The registration process is very simple and straightforward.
To organisations thinking about joining, definitely give it a try! It's simple and relatively low resource. It does require promotion via social media and newsletters, but can be successful with an engaged pool of supporters."
