Good morning

I am organising a visit to Whittlesey for approx 25-30 PCS Members on Wed 22 July starting at 2.00pm

Sue Iles-Palmer has kindly offered to provide a tour and refreshments at St. Mary's Church but it would be good to have a visit to Whittlesey Museum and/or short guided tour of the town centre for say 30-45 minutes before we then walk to the church- is this something you could arrange for us?

Obviously we would be very happy to support the Museum and would want to make a suitable donation to support your work, just as we will be supporting St. Mary's

Please do give me a call if that is easier

Many thanks

If there are any volunteers to help out on this event, please contact Julie!

What a year it's been!

On 20th May, Cambridgeshire Community Lottery celebrates its first birthday, and we couldn't have reached this milestone without you.

When we launched the lottery last year, we set out to create an easy, sustainable way for local causes to raise additional funds.

Thanks to your participation and the incredible support of our community, we've had a remarkable first year:

✨ 87 registered good causes

✨ 602 players over the last year

✨ 32,594 tickets sold

✨ £19,556 raised for good causes across Cambridgeshire (we expect to surpass £20,000 in May)

Every ticket sold, every prize won, and every pound raised has made a difference to the people and communities we serve.

Giveaway for registered causes

To mark this special anniversary, we're launching a competition which will run throughout May.

The cause that signs up the most new players during the month will win:

🎁 £10 lottery gift voucher for a supporter to redeem in support of your cause. Gift it to one of your existing lottery supporters or perhaps use it in a raffle or social media giveaway. The choice is yours.

🎁 A pop-up banner to promote the lottery, custom designed with your logo and cause details

🎁 200 professionally printed A6 flyers to boost your lottery promotion

🎁 Full design service included - we'll create everything for you!

This is a fantastic opportunity to supercharge your lottery fundraising with new marketing materials that will help you stand out.

The competition starts on 1st May - get ready to rally your supporters and win those fantastic marketing materials!

The winning cause will be contacted on 1st June.

New marketing resource pack

To help you succeed, we've created a new marketing resource pack for you (attached) including:

Sample social media copy and images
Email and newsletter sample copy
Email signature banner that you can hyperlink with your lottery page
Tips on how to engage your supporters

Simply download, customise with your cause's details, and share!

We enjoyed a visit on Friday from Peggy and her grandson. They came to view the christening gown which Peggy had worn as a baby in 1926. She has kindly gifted the item to us together with her christening cup.

On Thursday, 16 April, outside the normal opening times, The Museum welcomed a party from Sudbury Court for a visit to view the collection, and a great time was had by all! Would your group like to arrange a visit?
