WIN THIS AMAZING ONE-OF-A-KIND RAINBOW SWING SEAT

To raise money for Dorset County Hospital Sitting Spiritually have crafted this one-of-a-kind “Rainbow Bench” to commemorate the NHS. 

It will even be delivered and assembled for the winner (mainland United Kingdom only).

How to enter the raffle

If you'd like to donate anonymously, please consider providing an alias or partial name - otherwise when we announce the winner it'll be very hard to know if you've won!

For every £10 you donate we’ll enter you into a raffle to win this incredible prize, the winner will be drawn by a front-line nurse working at Dorset County Hospital on August 5th, and we’ll share a video of the draw online.

If you’d like to donate more than £10 you’ll be entered multiple times for the raffle.

    • £10 donation = 1 raffle ticket
    • £20 donation = 2 raffle tickets
    • £30 donation = 3 raffle tickets
    • £50 donation = 5 raffle tickets
    • £100 donation = 10 raffle tickets

If you'd like to donate less than £10 you are more than welcome to do so, however won't be entered into the raffle.

If you’d like to enter on behalf of someone else (perhaps a key worker, or someone you feel deserves some extra recognition during these unprecedented times) then please feel free to include their name (and the reason you’d like them to win if you’d like) with your donation.

All funds raised through the sale of these raffle tickets will be donated directly to Dorset County Hospital directly by JustGiving.

Sitting Spiritually

For over 15 years Sitting Spiritually have been making bespoke wooden garden swing seats, pergolas, garden benches and rope swings for their highly discerning customer base. As the only bespoke swing seat and bench maker licensed by the Royal Horticultural Society, the company have carved out an enviable reputation as masters of their craft.

Frequently found at Chelsea Flower show their exclusive seats adorn the gardens of Michelin Star restaurants and A-list celebrities throughout the country, as well as punctuating the expansive gardens of various National Trust and RHS properties. Sitting Spiritually have even found their oak swings incorporated in the ice-skating routines of ITV’s Dancing on Ice.

The Rainbow Bench

To raise money for Dorset County Hospital Sitting Spiritually have crafted this one-of-a-kind “Rainbow Bench” to commemorate the NHS. The natural rainbow on the back of the seat is formed through the choice of woods with a natural variation in their hue, made from Oak, Chestnut, Western Red cedar, Iroko, Utile and Walnut.

All these durable woods will, over time, naturally fade to a more uniform silver. With beautiful timing we’re expecting the rainbow to fade at roughly the time that the Covid-19 vaccine is predicted to be available. (If desired the colours could be refreshed using a cleaning system).

Sitting Spiritually’s swing seats are built to last – and their first ever swing seat can still be enjoyed in the company’s Lyme Regis show garden (socially distanced garden visits are available by arrangement).

This exceptional one-of-a-kind swing seat is licensed by the RHS and based on the ever popular Three-Seater Serenity Curve back. It will even be delivered and assembled for the winner (mainland United Kingdom only).

To everyone at Dorset County Hospital, we’d like to say one more great-big “Thank You!”
