New ‘Deaf Lottery UK’ to support D/deaf Communities - Press Release (BSL)

Action Deafness is delighted to announce the launch of Deaf Lottery UK, an exciting new fundraising initiative. The lottery will be a great way for people to raise vital funds for Action Deafness, whilst having fun and getting the chance to win cash prizes! The funds raised will enable them to provide services supporting the D/deaf, Deafblind, and Hard of Hearing Communities.
With a top prize of £25,000 up for grabs each week, Deaf Lottery UK offers players a thrilling opportunity to win, while making a positive impact on the lives of D/deaf* people.
Tickets are just £1 each, with weekly draws taking place every Saturday night at 8pm. Tickets can be purchased via the website: www.deaflotter...
Action Deafness CEO, Craig Crowley said:
“The money raised by Deaf Lottery UK is going to make a huge impact to the services Action Deafness provides to the Deaf, Deafblind and Hard of Hearing Communities, to ensure they receive the support they need. Even better, we want to encourage charities and community groups to get in touch with us to find out more about fundraising, so they too can join and make an impact with our Deaf Lottery UK!”
A virtual launch event was held by Action Deafness on Tuesday 17th September to give non-profit organisations a first look at how the lottery will work, as well as giving them a chance to sign up and start fundraising, by keeping 50% of the ticket sales from their own lottery. Organisations who are interested are encouraged to visit the website for more information. By partnering with other organisations serving the D/deaf* Communities, together they can make an impact and create a more inclusive, accessible society for all.
Lottery management company, Gatherwell, has been appointed by Action Deafness to run the lottery, having successfully launched similar lotteries throughout the UK.
Regular updates on the progress of Deaf Lottery UK will be posted on Action Deafness’ website and social media pages.
