The Royal Parks launches weekly charity lottery to support nature

The Royal Parks charity has launched The Royal Parks Nature Lottery, a new weekly charity lottery designed to raise funds for wildlife, trees and green spaces across London’s Royal Parks.

Participants can enter for as little as £1 per week for the chance to win a top prize of £25,000 in weekly draws held every Friday. Additional prizes include £1,000, £25, and five entries into the next draw.

Funds raised through the lottery will support the care and protection of more than 170,000 trees and shrubs, and 7,000 species of wildlife across 5,000 acres of parkland managed by The Royal Parks charity.

Players can enter online by selecting the number of entries they would like and choosing to pay by Direct Debit or debit card. Once registered, entrants receive unique six-digit lottery numbers and are automatically entered into future weekly draws.

Pablo Gonzalez, Head of Fundraising, The Royal Parks, said: 

"The Royal Parks are some of London's most cherished green spaces, but protecting nature across 5,000 acres of parkland requires significant ongoing investment. It costs around £75 million each year to manage and maintain the parks, and support from the public plays a vital role in helping us care for wildlife, trees and habitats.  

“The Royal Parks’ Nature Lottery offers people a new way to get involved, with every ticket helping to protect and enhance these special places for future generations. We're excited to launch an initiative that not only raises vital funds for nature but also gives participants the chance to win amazing prizes."
