Nina Gopal, Head of Fundraising at Chailey Heritage, said: “We are very excited to be launching our weekly lottery.
“Many of our fundraising events in 2020 have been cancelled because of Covid-19. However, we are very fortunate at Chailey Heritage to have the support of so many people and we truly appreciate every one of them.
“The lottery is a new way of enabling people to help us as we continue to transform lives at Chailey Heritage. Yes, the lockdown has changed the way we work, but the care and happiness of our young people remains paramount.”
