VETERANS charity Erskine is calling for you support by launching its first lottery.

Those taking part with a £1 entry could win a jackpot of up to £25,000.

Erskine says the lottery will run every Friday and offers each £1 entry a 1 in 63 chance of winning one of four fantastic prizes.

Sara Bannerman, Erskine Head of Fundraising and Communications, said: “By playing the Erskine Lottery, you’ll be in with the chance of winning incredible cash prizes every week. But most importantly, you’ll be helping to improve the lives of Veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much.

“As a charity, we rely on donations, we identified the lottery as a new, fun and exciting way for our supporters to get involved along with an opportunity to win big prizes and it is so easy to play online at erskine.org.uk/lottery.”

Each year, Erskine provides crucial support to nearly 1,000 ex-servicemen and women.

But it must raise around £10 million every year in order to maintain this level of high-quality care.

Veterans living in Scotland can receive support across the charity’s network of four care homes and Veterans Village – made up of 44 cottages, an activity centre, five assisted living apartments and 24 single living apartments.
