I want to hold a raffle where I am selling tickets over more than 1 day

If you are intending to hold a raffle to raise funds for the hospital and wish to sell tickets over a period of time (longer than 24 hours), you will need to obtain a lottery licence from your local Council.

Cloakroom tickets can only be used for a raffle where all of the tickets are sold and the raffle is drawn within the course of one day.

If you have any queries, please do contact the Fundraising Team who will be able to help you on 0121 333 8506 or via email.

There is also some information available on the gambling commission website providing guidance around raffles and when licences are needed.
