A parent carer who plays Contact’s weekly charity lottery to support families like her own has been celebrating after scooping our first £1,000 prize of 2026!
Elizabeth, whose child has special educational needs (SEN), said winning felt “incredibly exciting” – and even more meaningful because she knows first-hand how important Contact’s services are for families with disabled children.
“I joined the Contact Lottery over five years ago because I truly believed in the charity and the difference a small monthly contribution can make to families,” she said. “As a parent of a child with SEN, I know how vital that kind of support is.”
Elizabeth now plans to treat herself to some new craft supplies, a hobby she enjoys in her spare time.
And thanks to amazing players like her, we can continue to be there for thousands of families with disabled children across the UK who rely on our advice and support.
