A Huthwaite-based creative business has partnered with its charity of the year, Nottinghamshire Mind, to host The Big Notts Raffle, an online fundraising event.

All the proceeds from the event — being held on Thursday, 13th May as part of Mental Health Awareness Week — will go to the charity.

Funds raised by The Big Notts Raffle will go towards enhancing Nottinghamshire Mind’s services, ensuring it has resources available to support people with their mental health recovery.

Tickets are on sale to the public and winners will be announced at 8pm on 13th May via a free livestream from CCM Group’s YouTube channel.

The dedicated event website hosts all the event information, including prizes, sponsors and a link to buy raffle tickets. Tickets are priced £5 each.

Prizes donated by local businesses so far include an overnight stay at The Lace Market Hotel, Nottingham; a spa day at Clumber Park Hotel & Spa; two tickets to a Lincoln City FC football match; a signed Nottingham Forest FC shirt; a signed Mansfield Town FC football; an electric scooter from REEL; four tickets for four-ball golf at The Nottinghamshire Golf and Country Club, Stragglethorpe; an England cricket shirt signed by international Stuart Broad; and much more.
