We are welcoming the Easter holidays with the fabulous news that another parent carer has won big in the Contact Weekly Lottery and hit the £1,000 jackpot!

Sophie from Tonbridge matched five numbers in last Friday’s lottery draw to take home the winnings.

We caught up with Sophie, and she could not believe her luck:

“I’m over the moon to have won! Wow, I actually can’t believe it. I’ve only been playing for just over a month and had forgotten I had signed up, so it’s a huge surprise.

I found out about the Contact Lottery on Facebook as I’m a parent to an eight- year-old boy who has ADHD and autism, so I thought I’d try my luck. I’ve found the advice and information from Contact really helpful, so I wanted to support them back.

I can’t believe I won! Really unexpected, but very exciting – everyone who can should definitely have a go.

The Contact Weekly Lottery is a great, low-cost and easy way to support our vital support services for families with disabled children across the UK.

For just £1 a week, you’ll be in the frame to win weekly cash prizes and know that every time you play you’re helping us to continue to run our workshops, information and advice services, one-to-one family drop-ins and much more!

Enjoy your winnings Sophie, and good luck to all our players in the next draw!

Their story is truly amazing.

It all started when parent carer Sarah won a jaw-dropping £1,000 in our charity lottery last year and convinced her sister Kelly, who is also a parent carer, to join too.

And you won’t believe it, but Kelly has just won £1,000 too! Whoever said lightning can’t strike twice clearly hasn’t met these extraordinary sisters.

Two parent carers making a difference to families like theirs

Kelly, who has two disabled children, discovered our website while fighting to get her son into her chosen school. She found our online advice incredibly helpful, so when her sister shared the news of her £1,000 win, Kelly decided to give it a shot too.

“I joined the Contact lottery after my sister won £1,000.

I was so shocked to win! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do for families.”

Kelly, our recent £1,000 winner from Bristol

Kelly’s sister also knows first-hand the challenges of raising a disabled child. When she saw the opportunity to support Contact’s work for just £1 a week, she jumped at the chance to help other families like hers.

“I would highly recommend everyone to take part!”

Kelly’s sister Sarah, who also won £1,000 last year

We couldn’t be happier to witness these sisters turning their chances into huge wins.

For just £1 a week, you could be the next lucky winner!

Vital services our lottery players help fund

The support from lottery players like Kelly and Sarah allows us to provide life-changing support for families with disabled children.

This includes our UK-wide advice service, helpline, parent carer workshops, and family days out.

Last year, we gave away more than £32,000 in our our charity lottery! And guess what? Nine parent carers each took home the £1,000 jackpot!

We now have an incredible community of nearly 3,000 lottery players who help fund our essential services for families with disabled children. And every single one of them has a chance of winning up to £10,000 every Friday. Talk about a win-win situation!

We’re fast approaching nearly 100 winners every single week – help us reach this milestone and add some excitement to your Fridays!

Our winners highlights from 2023

Last July, we had an incredible month with four parent carers each winning £1,000! Like Georgia and Stacey, who both discovered the Contact Weekly Lottery while browsing through our information and advice on our website.

Georgia, our £1,000 winner from Liverpool, shared her excitement:

“My little boy has Autism and is non-verbal, so I joined a few online classes through Contact to help with his speech and language. When I was looking for more information on Contact’s website, I stumbled upon the lottery.

I was totally blown away! Winning the money meant we could really enjoy our summer holiday as a family. We are going to use some of the funds to buy my little boy a much-needed adapted pram!”

Georgia, our £1,000 winner from Liverpool

And Stacey couldn’t believe it when she also won big just in time for the summer holidays:

“The school SENCO recommended Contact for information and advice. I came across the lottery on their website, thinking I have nothing to lose, but families have something to gain. I did it and here I am a winner of £1,000 just before summer holidays! It’s absolutely amazing!

I hope more families join, because it’s great to give something back while being in with a chance of winning.”

Stacey, our £1,000 winner from Kettering

Vital services our lottery players help fund

The support from lottery players like Georgia and Stacey allows us to provide life-changing support for families with disabled children.

This includes our UK-wide advice service, helpline, parent carer workshops, and family days out.

Did you miss out on the London Marathon ballot and looking for a way to run the iconic race?

Do you want to support the vital work we do helping tens of thousands of families with disabled children each year?

Join Team Contact this April

Well you’re in luck, as we have two London Marathon places to fill for this April’s event!

We have a lower fundraising target than most charities, and we’ll there to support you with excellent training and fundraising advice from the word go.

You can join thousands of runners, including elite athletes, racing the iconic route while huge crowds cheer you on around the course.  The day’s atmosphere is truly like no other!

Why your support matters

There is a desperate lack of services and support for the 620,000 parents in the UK who care for a disabled child. 

As a result, families face a huge range of challenges and many feel isolated and alone. Coping with extra financial costs and practical challenges can put an enormous strain on daily life, with families more likely to face emotional issues, stress and anxiety. 

In 2022/23 we supported 291,000 families with life-changing support.

We simply couldn’t do this without you.

We made Zoe and her family’s Christmas when we surprised them with the incredible news that they had won the top prize in our first-ever charity Christmas raffle!

Zoe was so excited when she found out she had won a £500 voucher that she rushed to our Fledglings shop to see what she could spend it on. Spoilt for choice, Zoe eventually selected products to help with her daughter’s feeding, sensory and communication skills, plus a few extra items for her daughter’s school.

She told us:

“I’m still in shock! I purchased raffle tickets from a few charities not expecting to win anything – let alone first prize! What an amazing call to get on a Monday morning and I’ll admit, I did a little dance!

My daughter has been through so much in her short life, always facing everything with tenacity, strength, and a good dose of cheekiness. She spreads joy with her beautiful smile and personality, so it’s incredible to be able to support her and help her shine like the superstar she is.

Thank you so much! This will make a huge difference for my daughter and her future.”

Winner of Contact's raffle, parent Zoe, stood next to a stone wall with her partner and two children
Zoe and her family.

A huge thank-you to everyone who played our charity raffle and donated money to help fund Contact’s vital support services for families with disabled children!

Join our next raffle

If you would like to join in on the fun next time, simply sign up to our weekly newsletter for parents and carers and we’ll let you know when tickets go on sale.

But there’s no need to wait: you can also try your luck every week by playing the Contact Weekly Lottery.

For just £1 a week, you’ll have a chance of winning up to £10,000 every Friday. Hundreds of parent carers have bagged top prizes so far – like our recent winner, parent carer Samantha, who took home £1,000 just before Christmas.

There is a desperate lack of services and support for the 1.6 million disabled children in the UK and their families.

As living costs continue to skyrocket, families tell us they are struggling to keep afloat and thousands are unable to afford the life-saving electrical equipment their child relies on.

Contact has been providing a lifeline for these families for over 40 years, but as a charity, we rely on our generous funders, donors and everyone who supports our work by playing the Contact Weekly Lottery.

We need help now more than ever

We’re seeing unprecedented demand for our support services from families who don’t know where to turn.

A £5 donation each month this winter from you could mean struggling mums and dads can attend one of our parent workshops, speak to our parent advisers and get support from us when their child is in hospital.

Or you could be helping an eligible family get an average of £5,400 a year in the benefits they are entitled to when they call our Family Finance helpline.

You can also make a one-off donation.

Play our lottery and win big while funding our work

Our weekly lottery is a fun way to support our work.

For £1 a week, you’ll enter a draw to win up to £10,000 every Friday!

Like our recent winner, parent carer Samantha from Manchester, who was left speechless when she found out she had won £1,000 just before Christmas!

Help us be there for families in 2024 and beyond

By making a donation today you’ll be helping ensure we’re able to keep offering workshops and events that bring families together to support each other and feel less alone.

Our Listening Ear service and helpline and information and advice services will be able to carry on providing vital expert practical and emotional support to parent carers when they need us.

And your help will mean we won’t stop campaigning to change government policy so families with disabled children stop being left behind.

We’re thrilled to announce our first charity raffle to raise funds for Contact’s support services.

You can join the fun for just £1 a ticket, giving you a chance to win a £500, £100 or £25 vouchers for our Fledglings shop.

The vouchers can be spent on ANYTHING in our shop – from cosy adaptive sleepwear, sensory toys and dens, to wheelchair accessories and continence swimwear.

You can buy up to 50 tickets, and the deadline for entries is 3 December. The draw will take place on 8 December. Read more about how to play

Child celebrating in a cloud of confetti after parent wins the lottery

There’s nothing better than seeing parent carers hit the jackpot in the Contact Weekly Lottery.

We’ve given away over £50,000 in prizes since launching our charity lottery in 2021, with parent carers pocketing £23,000 in winnings!

Around 60 cash prizes won every week

As the number of people playing the lottery grows, so does our prize fund! We are now giving out around 60 prizes every single week.

Thank you to the 2,373 people currently playing lottery – and you can join them too!

Every £ funds our vital support services

The Contact Weekly Lottery helps fund our vital work providing families with disabled children with the best possible support and guidance, including our Listening Ear line, free helpline, workshops for parents and family days out.

What’s more, joining costs as little as £1 a week and is capped at £3 a week. We want to give everyone the opportunity to donate to our charitable work without breaking the bank – while hopefully getting lucky too!

Congratulations to our recent parent carer winner

We were delighted to deliver the news to Andrew that he had landed a whopping £1,000 last month. He told us:

I started playing the Contact Lottery as I know first-hand the valuable support Contact provides.

“It’s a very modest way of giving something back to a cause that I consider worthwhile. To actually win £1,000 is incredible. It really is a win-win!”

£1,000 winner, Andrew from Devices

Taking part couldn’t be simpler

For every £1 entry, we’ll give you a unique six-digit number. Match three numbers or more, and you’ll win a cash prize between £5 and £1,000.

Match all six, and you’ll win an amazing £10,000!

On Friday 14 July, the Contact Weekly Lottery had two more £1,000 winners – Stacey from Kettering and Cheryl from North Shields and they are both parent carers!

Stacey and Cheryl matched five numbers and won big – just in time for the school holidays.

My son has disabilities which are hard to manage in many social settings, and there are no SEND holiday clubs near me, so this money will pay for activities that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to do.

Cheryl from North Shields

We spoke to Cheryl to tell her the good news who said: “Thank you so very much for this amazing news! Hard to believe I have won £1000…never have I won anything like this! Amazing considering I’ve only been playing for just over one year!! Fantastic windfall, especially with the school holidays approaching! This money will make some happy summer memories for my two children. My son has disabilities which are hard to manage in many social settings. There are no SEND holiday clubs near me, so this money will pay for activities that we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to do. Contact lottery is so worthwhile, knowing I am also contributing to such a cause close to us all in our community. Genuinely over the moon.”

And when we told Stacey she was the winner of £1,000 she said:

The school SENCO recommended looking to Contact for advice and information, and I did. I came across the Contact Lottery thinking I have nothing to lose but families have something to gain. I did it – and here I am a winner of £1,000 just before summer holidays! It’s absolutely amazing!

I hope more families join because it’s great giving something back and be in with a chance of winning.

Stacey from Kettering

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our DinoDay Stomp & Roar Challenge has raised an incredible total of £15,340!

A dinosaur-sized thank you to the 355 families who took on our very first challenge event to raise money to help fund our vital support services.

We were blown away by the creative ideas for the challenges, all centred around the number 19. From trying 19 new foods to whizzing down 19 zip lines, and someone even taught their baby brother to walk for 19 days.

It was heart-warming to see children of all ages and abilities proudly wearing their DinoDay t-shirts to support Contact. Thank you to each and every little, medium and large dinosaur for Stomping and Roaring for us on DinoDay – your enthusiasm made this a truly memorable event.

Montage of lots of children wearing green t-shirts who participated in the DinoDay Stomp and Roar Challenge

A stegosaurus-ly HUGE thank you to every one of you who took part in our DinoDay challenge this June and for making it such a success! Every penny you raised will make a real difference to the families we support.

Mark Davies – Director of Income Generation

Thank you to all the roar-some schools and nurseries

We were delighted to see schools and nurseries nationwide come together in a spectacular display of dino-spirit, all in support of Contact. A special mention goes to Toddler’s Den Nursery for raising an impressive £461! They led their little ones on a 19-minute stomping adventure through the local area, all dressed as dinosaurs and donning the colour green.

The difference the money will make

The money you helped raise this DinoDay will help us continue running our vital services, which include:

And more!

Join the fun next year

If you fancy having fun with your family while raising money to support Contact, we would love to have you onboard #TeamDinoDay!

A huge congratulation to Georgia from Liverpool and Tessa from Crawley, our latest £1,000 Contact Weekly Lottery winners!

Georgia and Tessa matched five numbers to take the jackpot. They join our previous nine £1,000 winners and the over 3,000 others we’ve had since we began our lottery launched three years ago.

We caught up with Georgia as she was off on a family break:

“I first heard about Contact through a parents and carers forum page that I am in on Facebook. My little boy has Autism and is non-verbal. I joined a few online classes through Contact to support with speech and language therapy, and it was when looking on the Contact website for more information that I found the lottery.

“I was totally blown away! Winning the money meant we could really enjoy our summer holiday as a family. We are going to use some of the funds to buy my little boy a much-needed adapted pram!”

Tessa, who is also a parent carer, said:

“I joined because the worthwhile cause is something really close to my heart. When we got the call to say we had won £1000, it was completely unexpected. I was totally blown away! Winning the money meant we could really enjoy our summer holiday as a family.

“I’m so happy to have won £1,000 on the Contact Lottery. It’s for such a good cause. And with two disabled children myself, the money will come in really handy. Thank you so much, and good luck to everyone playing!”

Today is DinoDay, our annual event to raise vital funds to help us be there for families with disabled children. Hundreds of incredible families across the UK have been taking on the Stomp & Roar DinoDay Challenge this June to raise money and have some dino-themed fun.

Your family can join the fun too with our collection of dino-themed activities below.

The challenge has raised over £12,000 so far, which is fantastic! Well done to everyone involved and thank you to all our fundraisers. Like Tracey and her son Vinnie, who have helped make our first DinoDay challenge a roaring success.

What an amazing month of fundraising we have had. Thank you so much for the t-shirt and the opportunity to raise money for Contact.

We hosted a non-school uniform day, organised a dino-fun club for after school. For the challenge we walked and collected 19 sticks, leaves and flowers to make pictures with. It’s been amazing.

DinoDay fundraiser – Tracey

Have fun this DinoDay with our roar-some activities

This year, we’ve created lots of dino-themed activities so everyone can take part in DinoDay.

We have a fun dinosaur mask-making activity using paper plates, DinoDay recipes, 50 pages of dinosaur colouring-in sheets and a dinosaur word search!

And as part of our DinoDay schools’ pack we produced this special story about dinosaurs to celebrate what makes us all unique. Why not download a copy and read it with your child, it’s available as a PDF or as an online flick book.

The inspiration behind DinoDay

Today is all about raising awareness of Cameron Mathieson and his family’s successful campaign to stop Disability Living Allowance (DLA) payments from being taken away from children who spent over 12 weeks in hospital.

We supported Cameron and his family in challenging this unfair rule. As a result, no other family with a child who spends long periods in hospital has been denied this essential financial support.

The money raised from DinoDay will help us continue to tackle the discrimination that families with disabled children face.

Cameron Mathieson Dinoday

Cameron had both Cystic Fibrosis and Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy and sadly passed away when he was five years old after spending over two years in hospital.

He loved dinosaurs – or as he called them, Dowsers – and his favourite Dowser was a green triceratops called Troy.

Read more about Cameron Mathieson and his amazing family.

DinoDay is fast approaching on 19 June and hundreds of you have been doing your Facebook Challenges, having loads of fun and raising vital funds to help us be there for even more families with disabled children.

We’ve been overwhelmed by the creative ideas for the Facebook Challenges you’ve set up in order to raise money for us – all the while incorporating the number 19. And we’re also delighted that some of you have roared about DinoDay to get your child’s school involved too by holding  a non uniform day for us and sharing our schools’ pack.

Some of our favourites GENIUS Facebook Challenge ideas you’ve had include:

We just know that together you are going to help us smash our £20,000 target!

It’s not too late to sign up and join in the fun. Please note, your free t-shirt and DinoDay tracker may take a week to arrive.

Some Dinosaurs Roar!

As part of our DinoDay schools’ pack we produced this special story about dinosaurs to celebrate what makes us all unique.

DinoDay is inspired by a little boy called Cameron Mathieson and his amazing family.

A BIG thank you and congratulations to our 8 amazing London Marathon runners.

Running 26.2 miles is a huge achievement and our runners also did a fantastic job raising thousands of pounds to help Contact reach more families with disabled children.

We had a brilliant time cheering on all our runners at Mile 16 despite the rain and saw many of them zoom past us to give us a wave. One of them, Jeremy Wright, even broke a Guinness World Record for  being the fastest marathon carrying golf clubs!

One of our runners said: “I saw you at mile 16, which is a good place to stand as it’s a killer from that point on…Must say though, London is amazing – the crowds (of which you were part) and volunteers are just fantastic! Thanks for letting me run for Contact – so proud to do so!”

Want to run next year’s London Marathon for Contact?

The ballot for next year’s London Marathon is now open and we are looking for runners to join our team.

If you would like to join Team Contact in 2024, do get in touch today by emailing us: fundraising@contact.org.uk.

We’ll be there to support you in your fundraising journey from the word go!

This Sunday 23rd April, our eight brilliant London Marathon runners will finally take on the streets of London!

Some of our runners have run for us before, and some for the first time. We are truly humbled by their support to us and incredibly proud of each and every one of them. They have trained and fundraised tirelessly over the last few months. And this weekend, they’ll get to bask in the glory of running an incredible 26.2 miles while crowds of supporters cheer them on!

Our runner Jeremy says:

“My first ever marathon was in 2018, when I ran in support of Contact. I’m doing that again in 2023. It is important for me to continue with as much charity work as I’m able to, especially with the current cost of living challenges. To help families with disabled children get the support they need, my fundraising efforts will help go towards making that happen”

Jeremy

Our runner Phil said:

“Next Sunday will see me participating in my 16th London Marathon following a two-year break. I had stated that my last one in 2020 virtually would be my one. I felt I had achieved all that I had set out to do by raising awareness of hemiplegia and the great work of Contact and HemiHelp following our son’s George right-sided hemiplegia diagnosis in 2003, raising much needed funds along the way.

“The impact of Covid-19 restrictions to ‘normal life’ and the current cost of living crisis made me realise that help for families with disabled children is needed more today than it did when I hung up my trainers three years ago. Contact helped 182,000 families with disabled children in 2021/22. This shows their work is absolutely vital, and they need our support”.

huge thank you and good luck to all our runners! Every one of you has made a tremendous difference to the families Contact supports, and we can’t wait to wave and cheer you on this Sunday!

If you’d like to come and support our runners with us, you can register for free. And if you’re interested in joining our team next year, contact us on fundraising@contact.org.uk today.

Best of luck everyone!

Huge congratulations to Laura from Colchester, our third Contact Weekly Lottery £1,000 winner of 2023!

Laura is a parent to two autistic sons and a son and daughter with complex needs.

I first heard about the Contact Lottery because I follow Contact on Facebook and have attended a few of their Q&A sessions.

I’ve found Contact’s advice really helpful, so I decided to sign up to the Contact Lottery and give something back. And I’m really happy I did! I’m so pleased to have won, I almost can’t believe it.

Laura from Colchester

We’re so pleased Laura’s chances have turned into a win. If you join us – you could be next!

Play Contact’s Weekly Lottery for as little as £1 a week and a chance to win up to £10,000. All the while, you’ll be funding the vital support services that made a difference to families like Laura’s.

Congratulations to Laura and good luck to all our wonderful players in the next draw!
