Local Hospice Lottery Provides Crucial Funding For Specialist Nursing Care Charity Jessie May
As a safe and simple way to support charities, Local Hospice Lottery was founded to provide a ‘regular and reliable income’ to those dealing with life limiting illnesses across Essex. Eleven years later, the organisation expanded this to further to support hospice care areas across Great Britain.

The Bristol based specialist palliative nursing care charity Jessie May is delighted to partner with local hospice lottery and deeply encourages the public to get involved.
Jessie May provides specialist palliative and end of life care, supporting terminally ill children and their families across the South West, and heavily relies on donations to be able to do this. This is made possible with the support of players of the Local Hospice Lottery, in place to provide a valuable income stream for the charity. In 2020, for each £1 entry in the weekly draw, Local Hospice Lottery gave an average of 68p to hospice care.
With the pandemic limiting income, it can be especially challenging to donate. With a minimum £1 entry fee and a chance to win prizes, the Local Hospice Lottery draw is a practical and considerate way to give back to those who need it most. 40 With the lottery’s rollover, Jessie May supporters are among those to win up to £25,000.
“The Local Hospice Lottery has seen 31 players win 33 prizes since 2019, receiving £345 between them. A total of £2,361 has been raised for Jessie May so far. These vital donations have made sure Jessie May nurses can continue providing care for children and families in need of crucial support.” - Clare Pearce, Director of Funding explained. As of 7th October 2021, there are 406 active players, with 581 game numbers between them. With 200 cash prizes up for grabs every week, it is an exciting and rewarding opportunity to give to a charity who needs your support.

A brand new show home has been launched at The Chocolate Factory development in Greenbank where the next phase of 3- and 4- bedroom homes are available to reserve.
The three-bedroom show home, located on the newly created Carsons Road, will show house-hunters what they can expect from the forthcoming homes at the development. Fifty percent of the houses along Carsons Road are now under offer and there are only four houses left along this terrace available for occupation now. Mya Castillo, sales and marketing consultant for Generator South West, the developers behind The Chocolate Factory, said the new show home is an important milestone for the project.
“This launch represents the third show home we have opened and demonstrates how far the project is moving month-by-month,” said Mya. “All the houses along Co-Operation Road are now occupied and we recently handed over the shared ownership apartments to Abri so the development is really starting to come alive. It was great to see all the new residents welcomed into the friendly community of Greenbank at one of the recent street parties. 42 “The new show home is the first house we have dressed that has a separate living area and kitchen diner with patio doors onto the garden. Purchasers so far have commented on the generous stairs and hallways, abundance of light throughout the property and good-sized bedrooms as well as the carports with electric charging points. Once again, we have worked with Main Interiors to bring this home to life.
“It’s sometimes hard for buyers to envision what a new build development will be like so a show home, alongside our model and virtual reality model in the Visitor Centre are great tools to give buyers the confidence to buy off plan. Now that the new show home is ready we expect the remaining homes in this phase to sell quickly.” Having laid derelict for years, developers Generator South West are breathing new life into Greenbank and once complete The Chocolate Factory will boast apartments, family houses, a public landscaped square, café/bar, community hub, retail units, workspace and direct access to the Bristol and Bath Railway Path. Prices for the latest 3- and 4-bedroom homes on Carsons Road start at £435,000.
