540 hospice nursing hours, funded by a single Snaffle draw
One monthly draw. Six hospice partners. Enough funding to cover 540 hours of specialist nursing care at home.
The problem
Most UK hospices raise around two-thirds of their income themselves. Small, reliable funding streams matter as much as headline-grabbing appeals — often more.
A single specialist nurse home visit costs roughly what a Snaffle player spends on a mid-tier monthly entry. Multiply that across a growing member base and the maths gets interesting quickly.
What changed
Our March draw sent funding to six regional hospice partners chosen by members via the Charity League Table. That paid for 540 hours of at-home nursing care — the kind of care that lets families spend last weeks together at home instead of on a ward.
None of it is glamorous. All of it is essential.
Why the model works
Snaffle caps the top prize on purpose. Above that cap, more money in the pot means more winners and a bigger charity share — not a bigger jackpot. It's the reason a single draw can meaningfully move the needle for six hospices at once.
More impact stories
A share of every entry this winter went to community food hubs across the UK — here's what that funding actually did on the ground.
Kit, boots, and pitch hire for 22 clubs that would otherwise have started the season short.
