East Herts Council have just launched a local lottery, with 60% of receipts being distributed back to local ‘good causes’, 20% for prize money and 20% for admin and management.

In simple terms, here's how it works is:
1. Choose how much you want commit and go online to buy tickets - . https://www.easthertslottery.co.uk/support/hertford-hockey-club
2. Select the good cause you want to support and buy tickets via their area of the website. 50% of your ticket goes directly to your selected good cause, and 10% into a pot to be distributed to other good causes.

The lottery is drawn monthly and you are not tied into any regular payments, you can join and leave at any time.

We do need to sell at least 50 tickets linked to HHC to remain registered as a local good cause. So if you are going to look, please do it soon. The first draw is the 23rd February

As the year goes on, you will see a number of initiatives to re-energise some of the club’s fundraising, as we seek to continue the success of the club both on and off the field. These will not all be targeted at just trying to wring more money out of existing members and supporters, but will be looking at new opportunities of fundraising to benefit our members, with more nights like the “Gin Festival”. Comedy night coming next season

Please contact me (email below) or if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

Best wishes,
