Charity asks local businesses to sign up for World Cup Sweepstake Challenge

Thursday 05 June 2014

The Island’s provider of community nursing and care services in Jersey, Family Nursing and Home Care, is inviting local businesses to take part in its World Cup Sweepstake Challenge.

The challenge will see individuals from businesses, large and small, competing against each other to win a cash prize. Those who sign up will receive a free FNHC World Cup Sweepstake kit, complete with a set of rules and a list of team names ready to be cut out and picked at random.

Those taking part are being asked to donate 25% of all money raised from each sweepstake to the charity.

Ivo Le Maistre Smith fundraising manager at FNHC said: “You can charge as much as you like per entry although with 32 teams competing for the coveted trophy in Brazil, we would recommend a fee of £4 per challenger – that’s a fantastic cash prize of £96 for the lucky winner, with a much needed £32 going to FNHC. We rely heavily on the public for their support and it’s important that we continue to raise the funds needed to make sure our loved ones have access to and receive the highest standards of care, regardless of the complexity of their needs.”

The charity provides a variety of services including health visitors, school and children’s nursing, district and specialist nursing as well as home and domestic care. It needs to raise in excess of £1.75 million per year in voluntary donations to continue providing its breadth of high quality services in the community.
