Congratulations to Lucy from Robertsbridge, the £250 winner from the 16 May Rother Community Lottery draw! 🎉

Lucy supports Come As You Are CIC a local organisation supporting families of autistic children across the community.

“I support Come As You Are because it has been a lifeline for my family. I have two autistic sons and CAYA is an excellent source of support, advice and a safe place free of judgement.”

Lucy discovered she’d won while away in Wales celebrating her son’s 4th birthday - making the trip even more special.

By playing the Rother Community Lottery, players are helping local good causes thrive, with 60p from every £1 ticket going directly back into the community.

Keep your support local. 📍

We often give to national charities and never see where the money goes. Meanwhile, the causes on our own doorstep are the ones we rely on most.

With our lottery, 60p of your pound stays in Rother. 50p goes to your chosen cause and 10p helps other local projects.

Play local. Support local. Win local: https://www.rothercommunitylottery.co.uk/
