Lovely people of Chester... we don't ask often... but we need your help. Every year we run Chester Raft Race and do a huge raffle that raises over £2500 for charities.

We're appealing to local businesses - can you donate a fabulous prize to the raffle, and contribute to raising funds for SPACE and The Martin Gallier Project on race day in July? We'll be sure to give you a big thank you shout out on socials, and on the day itself!

Can you share with people you know who might be able to help?

Thanks in advance to anyone able to support us.
