The District has a Calderdale Council “Small Lotteries” Licence; if you intend fundraising using a “raffle”, please contact Chris Jay for details.
In simple terms a small lottery is a kind of gambling that has three essential elements:
- payment is required to participate,
- one or more prizes are awarded, and
- those prizes are awarded by chance.
As these rules apply to raffles, you need a licence to do one.
If you are unsure if your fundraising activity requires a licence, please contact Chris Jay to check.
