A raffle to raise vital funds for The Trussell Trust 

This Christmas I want to do something a little bit different.

Instead of me posting about festive beers throughout December, I want to dedicate my Instagram feed to hosting an advent calendar-style raffle in aid of The Trussell Trust. 

The charity anticipates it will give out 700,000 food parcels this winter, 275,000 of which will be for children. The soaring cost of living means more and more people are being forced to use food banks and this Christmas, TT has launched an emergency appeal.   

My festive advent calendar raffle will take place through
December with prizes announced every day from
1st December until New Year's Eve (extended due to the generosity of the community)!!! 

Raffle tickets are £5 for 1 entry or £10 for 3 entries – all you have to do, is donate a chosen amount and I’ll add your entry (or entries) into the hat for your chance to win each day! 

Over 35 breweries and my amazing beer buddies have donated to the raffle and the prizes are mega! I appreciate you all so much.

What prizes can you win? 

The prize bundle is epic! The entire bundle is worth over £2000 so far (because there’s still prizes coming)!!!!!
