The Stars Appeal’s Christmas Raffle raised over £20,000 to support projects helping patients, their families and staff at Salisbury Hospital.
For winner Terry Smith, from Dinton, who scooped the top prize of £2,500, it was a brilliant start to the new year. He said: “I’m very overwhelmed and speechless. I’m very pleased to have won.”
The Stars Appeal, Salisbury Hospital’s Charity, aims to raise £2 million each year to fund projects that offer direct, practical support to patients, their families, and the hospital’s staff.
The money raised in raffle ticket sales and donations will help to fund the charity’s work across the hospital, providing the latest diagnostic and treatment equipment, enhancements to buildings, and ongoing projects including free wi-fi, support for people with cancer, a dedicated play assistant and specialist therapy equipment for children, hospital chaplains, and emergency patient clothing.
Helena Sinclair, of the Stars Appeal, said: “A massive thank you to everyone who supported our Christmas Raffle, and congratulations to our lucky winners. The amazing funds raised will help support projects across Salisbury Hospital, benefiting patients, their families, and the dedicated staff who care for them. We are also incredibly grateful to our prize sponsors Wilsons Solicitors and FJ Chalke for their continued support.”
The £2,500 first prize was kindly sponsored by Wilsons Solicitors, and the second prize of £500 was sponsored by FJ Chalke. A third prize of £250 was also up for grabs, along with other cash prizes.
