TOFS is delighted to have teamed up with Your Charity Lottery to give our members a chance to win one of 81 weekly prizes, whilst raising much needed funds for the charity!
Working with Your Charity Lottery allows TOFS to offer our members the opportunity to win fantastic cash prizes, whilst providing invaluable funds for the charity, without the financial cost involved with additional systems and staff to run it ourselves. YCL is fully regulated, ensuring that you can get involved safely!
We researched a number of lottery platform providers and chose Your Charity Lottery as they are part of a charity themselves. TOFS shall receive a high % of each chance played and the pooled prize fund offers TOFS players access to large prizes from the start.
For each £1 ticket sold, 55% will go to TOFS which will make a big difference and allow us to continue to provide support to our members. The rest goes in to the prize fund pot and to Your Charity Lottery administration costs.
If you choose to sign up for the annual direct debit (just £1 a week) you will also receive the exclusive TOFS branded Lotte the Lottery Bear, which will not be available anywhere else!
A full list of FAQs are available here.

Just what or who is Your Charity Lottery?
Your Charity Lottery is a trading subsidiary of a UK Hospice Charity, namely Dove House Hospice of Hull, an £11mp.a. turnover charity. The hospice’s in-house lottery team was operating a lottery for its own purposes only for several years and it opened this up to invite other charities to benefit from the team’s expertise. There are now nearly 20 charities of various types signed up to introduce players to YCL and to benefit by receiving a high % of their player’s weekly spend. Dove House is a registered charity which produces annual reports for its several regulators: Charity Commission; Companies House; Care Quality Commission; Fundraising regulator; Gambling Commission.
Dove House is also the headquarters of the Hospice Lotteries Association, a network of over 100 lotteries that fund hospices in the UK.
