VOLUNTEERS are needed to help East Lancashire Hospice's lottery continue its super start.

The lottery has been running for three weeks and has signed up around 3,000 members.

But organisers still need volunteers to help with canvassing and administration work.

The draw offers a chance to win a weekly jackpot of £1,000 for a £1 weekly entry fee.

Around 70p of each pound goes directly to the hospice, which cares for people with life-threatening illnesses.

Lottery managers hope to have 7,000 people signed up before the end of the year to help the hospice raise £120,000 towards its £400,000 annual operating costs.

Anybody wishing to help with collections or join the Lottery can do so by calling Harry or Ann at the Lottery Office on 01254 342847.
