The Clapham Christmas raffle is back for 2023

We know, we know- it’s not even November yet! But we hope you’ll excuse us talking about Christmas already when you hear a bit more about this, because this raffle is raising funds for two local charities that need your dosh.

Ace of Clubs provides support for homeless and vulnerable people in Lambeth. They provide advice, clothes, food, friendship and much more to the most marginalised in our community. The second charity the raffle is supporting is Royal Trinity Hospice, a Clapham-based hospice that give compassionate palliative and end of life care to thousands of patients and their families in SW and central London.

So by buying a raffle ticket you’ll be supporting two well deserving charities, but you’ll also be in with the chance of winning some incredible prizes. Here’s a taster of what’s up for grabs:

• One night’s stay for two with breakfast at The Windmill Hotel
• Christmas Breakfast Hamper from The Ginger Pig
• Christmas Gift Bag from House of Voltaire at Studio Voltaire
• Wine tasting evening for two at D Vine Cellars
• £70 voucher at The Stonhouse
• £50 voucher at M. Moen & Sons
• £50 voucher at Venn Street Records
• £50 voucher at Minnow
• Four tickets to Clapham Picturehouse
• £20 voucher at Clapham Bookshop
• Large handmade ceramic bowl from North Street Potters
• A puppet-making workshop at Puppet Planet for a family or group of friends
• Christmas Hamper from Venn Street Market

…A very impressive (and tempting) list if you ask us. Tickets cost just £4, so why not forgo your daily almond cappuccino and get one of these instead. You’ll be supporting two local organisations and be in with the chance of winning big. If you’re on Venn Street this Saturday then you’ll be able to nab tickets there, or otherwise you can buy them online.
