Norwich Union, the UK’s largest insurer, is sponsoring two raffles by the National Trust this summer, the proceeds of which will go towards National Trust projects throughout England and Wales.
The first was the Members’ Raffle, details of which went out with the Trust’s Summer Magazine. The second raffle is open to anyone visiting one of the properties participating in the raffle. Tickets are on sale at these properties, at a cost of £1 per ticket.
Last year, properties raising money through the raffles chose their own individual projects to benefit from the income.
