Our raffle is a chance to win big and make a difference.

Published: 13 October 2022

Giving money in one of our bi-annual raffles is more than a donation - it’s a chance for you to win big and help improve the lives of people living with Crohn’s and Colitis.

Our donor development fundraising officer, Ellie, tells us all about this fantastic way to give.


Entering a raffle is one of the simplest ways you, your friends, and your family can get involved and help support the Crohn’s and Colitis community. Each ticket purchased also puts you in with a chance of winning one of our amazing cash prizes, with over £3,000 up for grabs!

Our players make a huge difference and help to provide vital funding for ongoing research programmes and support services.

So, it’s not just you who could win. Your entry helps change the lives of thousands of people across the UK.

Thanks to the amazing support of our community, this year’s Spring Raffle raised more than £60,000! This means that much-needed funds continue to get us closer to discovering new treatments, help breaking taboos, supporting early diagnosis, and campaigning to improve lives.

It was a great surprise to come second. I think it’s the first time I have ever won a prize. Over the years I’ve been involved in my own guitar music project and have put some of my winnings towards recording an album, which is now complete!

I’ve played guitar for over 40 years and playing has helped me during some of the bad times that we all go through. Thank you for making my day.
