**The Great Christmas Raffle was established in 2020 to support charities that faced
challenges with their fundraising efforts due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Over the
past three years, it has raised £183K for 86 charities – with £90k raised in last
year’s raffle for over 70 good causes.**

Charity Escapes and online raffle platform Raffolux have now announced the fourth
annual [The Great Christmas Raffle](https://raffolux.com/raffle/2916/charity_escape/)
for this year, partnered with Vertu Motors. It aims to raise funds for over 100 
charities with charity partners now sought.

Last year’s £90k went to charities including The Red Sky Foundation, Hospice UK 
and The Bradley Lowery Foundation. The prize was a 72-reg Volkswagen Polo in Ascot
Grey, donated by Vertu Motors.

Gerry Lianos, Co-founder and CEO of Raffolux said:

> “We started The Great Christmas Raffle in 2020 when we thought that it would be
> the hardest year for charities and those they support. However, a tough three 
> years have followed. The cost of living crisis has meant it’s been harder for 
> charities to fundraise and they’ve relied more on online raffles to generate funds
> to support those in need.
>  
> “Since launching our business in 2019, we have raised over £600K for charities.
> We’re hoping this year is going to be our best year yet and we can raise more 
> money than ever for our charity partners.”
