Mission Statement

The Hospice Lotteries Association's (HLA) mission is to facilitate help and support for Hospice Lottery Managers by the sharing of mutual experience and ideas and also, to represent and promote members' interests in the broader spectrum of society lotteries overall.

To achieve this, we have three meetings a year plus a conference where new ideas and experiences are discussed, new technology is presented and demonstrated and the impact of latest legislation considered.

We have found that by encouraging a warm, friendly and open ambiance at our meetings all of our members not only receive valuable information on what their colleagues may have tried but they also benefit personally from the regular fellowship with other managers.

Our three meetings take place in northern, central and southern england, within a reasonable distance of most UK hospices. The annual conference is usually in the central midlands area. In this way we hope that most members will easily be able to attend two of the three meetings and the conference.

We have three elected officers - Chair, Secretary and Treasurer - and we take useful minutes of the discussions and actions take are agreed.

You can see and contact our Officers on the Officers page.

Members may view and download previous minutes, forthcoming agendas and important documents by visiting our Members Login area.

To visit our member's websites or contact them, please see our HLA Members page.

Our Members Experience page shows each lottery and indicates the key features and experience of the lottery to date. So if you are thinking of carrying out a bumper draw or selling single tickets then see who has tried it before and give them a call first.

A number of Association members are also members of the Lotteries Council which meets quarterly. This enables the Association to be kept up to date with the latest issues relating to society lotteries in general and the latest legislative changes.

We do hope that you will join with us, and by sharing with us your experiences, promote even more success for hospice lotteries and the deserving causes that they provide support for.
