By playing our lottery, you’re helping us continue to enhance NHS care across Bradford - creating opportunities for people to feel healthier, more connected and better supported.

Why your support matters
Every ticket played helps us support vital NHS services across Bradford District and Craven, making a real difference to the lives of local people of all ages.
We provide mental health, community health, specialist dental, children’s public health and learning disability services across a diverse region stretching from Bradford city centre to the rural communities of Craven. Our teams deliver 54 different services from around 100 locations, including two mental health hospitals, supporting more than 659,000 people across 595 square miles.
Our communities are rich in culture and diversity, with over 100 languages spoken across the region. At the same time, many local people face significant challenges, including health inequalities, deprivation and increased demand for healthcare services. These pressures can have a lasting impact on physical and mental wellbeing, life opportunities and life expectancy.
Your support helps us go beyond what NHS funding alone can provide. Together, we can create brighter, more welcoming environments, enhance patient experiences, support innovative projects and provide additional resources that make a meaningful difference to patients, families and staff.
By playing our lottery, you're helping us invest in the health and wellbeing of our communities, ensuring that people across Bradford District and Craven receive the extra support, care and opportunities they deserve.
One ticket. A lasting local impact. Every player helps us do more for the people who need us most.
