A VOLUNTEER has urged people to back a fundraising raffle in aid of St Giles Hospice.

Sales close for the charity’s Summer Raffle on Wednesday (16th July).

The top prize is £8,000, with funds going to support care for local people living with a terminal illness.

Jeremy Blunt, a volunteer gardener at St Giles Hospice, is among those lending his support to the raffle after seeing his late wife, Liz, receiving specialist care after being diagnosed with myeloma, a type of bone marrow cancer.

He said:

> “St Giles provided support to me and Liz all the way through to her final days.  
>  
> “She died, at home, surrounded by myself and our daughters – that was her wish and St Giles helped make that happen.  
>  
> “The team of volunteer gardeners has become like a second family to me. Many of us have lost our partners, and we all found support here.  
>  
> “As well as volunteering, I also play the Summer Raffle – and I hope others will too. Every ticket sold helps St Giles continue its incredible work, providing care and support to families like mine.”

Tickets are £1 each and can be purchased at [www.stgileshospice.com/raffle](http://www.stgileshospice.com/raffle?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) or by calling 01543 434020\. 

Helen Curran, from St Giles Hospice, said:

> “Playing our Summer Raffle is a fun and easy way to support St Giles with the chance to win some fabulous cash prizes too.  
>  
> “While we receive some funding from the Government, we still rely heavily on donations and income generation from our local community. Tickets cost just £1 and every ticket sold helps St Giles to continue to be there for people when they need us most.”
