Mum Sara Nicholl was delighted when we called to tell her she was the latest parent carer to win £1,000 in the Contact Weekly Lottery! She told us:

“I have won £5 before, but I wasn’t expecting to win this big. I’m speechless! I joined the Contact Weekly Lottery after hearing about it on Facebook around six months ago, and I’m so glad I did.”

Parents of autistic children supporting families like theirs

Sara’s son is autistic and has ADHD, so she is very familiar with Contact and started playing the weekly lottery to support our vital work.

Around half of the families that access Contact’s services have an autistic child, making it incredibly rewarding when families like Sara’s hit the jackpot!

Sara joins other amazing parents of autistic children, like Maria, Laura, Georgia, and Samantha, who have all celebrated big wins in our lottery.

Join the fun for just £1 a week and you could be next…

Nearly £100,000 in prizes and counting

Since launching the lottery in 2020, we’ve celebrated over 8,000 winners and given away more than £92,000!

Join the Contact Lottery and you’ll have a chance of winning up to £10,000 every single week!

Vital services our lottery helps to fund

We’re seeing an unprecedented demand for our free services. Parents and carers are facing a constant battle to get support, not knowing where to turn, and reaching crisis point.

The Contact Weekly Lottery has become a vital source of income for our charity, funding services like our parent advisers, who help prevent stress, isolation and financial crisis.

“Contact was literally a lifeline. I was given information and understanding.

Most importantly I was given hope and support. I will never be able to say thank you enough.”

You can make a real difference for just £1 a week and be in with a chance of winning up to £10,000 every Friday.
