We’re delighted to end 2025 with the amazing news that another FIVE parent carers of disabled children have won £1,000 each in the Contact Weekly Lottery!
With mums Deborah, Lauren, Christy, Beth and Julie all hitting the jackpot in November and December, this brings the total to 16 big wins in 2025. That’s roughly one £1,000 winner every three weeks.
Our latest winner Julie, who won in the same week as Beth, said: “It feels fantastic to support a charity that truly understands and uplifts families like mine. As a parent to a 16-year-old with Down syndrome, I’m so grateful to be part of something that makes such a difference,” she said.
Beth was equally over the moon: “It’s truly made my whole year! I still smile every time I think about it. As a parent to a daughter on the spectrum, I know how meaningful these moments of support and joy can be, and this win will make our Christmas feel even more special.”
Christy, who won alongside Lauren in November, first discovered Contact while looking for advice on claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for her son. She soon found her tribe in our Facebook community for parent carers, where she received lots of helpful tips and support.
She signed up to our lottery after reading about a dad who’d won £1,000 — and is now encouraging everyone to join in: “For just £5 a month, you’re supporting a wonderful charity – and you might even be lucky enough to win £1,000 too!”
“My daughters are disabled, and as a family we know how important this kind of support can be. It feels really good to help children and families who need – and truly deserve – that support. It’s such a lovely charity, and with the added bonus of winning some money, there really isn’t a downside!”
