Play the Erskine Weekly Lottery for your chance to win up to £25,000 and support our brave Veterans.

Each year over 800 members of the Veterans community in Scotland call upon Erskine to provide vital care and support, to do this we must raise around £10 million every year.

By playing the Erskine Lottery you’ll be in with the chance of winning incredible cash prizes every week. And what’s more, you’ll be helping to improve the lives of Veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much.

Erskine provides support through residential care homes, Activity Centres and accommodation at our Veterans Village, including 44 cottages, five Assisted Living Apartments and 23 Transitional Supported Apartments.

We focus on people’s abilities rather than their loss of abilities. With your support, we help Veterans maintain dignity, independence and a quality of life.

Thank you for playing the Erskine Weekly Lottery – we wish you the best of luck in the draw!

With the demise of HMS DOLPHIN, the original alma mater of the Submarine Service, in 1998, the Royal Navy Submarine Museum established at Haslar Jetty in the 1980s, has become the natural link with submarine history, stretching back to the beginning of the last century.

Featuring the first Royal Navy submarine Holland 1 and HMS Alliance of WWII vintage, the Museum provides a comprehensive record of the life and times of the Submarine Branch of the Royal Navy.

Well established as a major visitor attraction, the Museum also boasts a significant research facility, with some 50,000 documents, 120,000 photographs, 300 works of art and 800 medals and the collection continues to grow.

The Cost of preserving this important part of our heritage for the future always exceeds the available budget and this is where the Friends make such a vital contribution.

Founded with charitable status in 1995, The Society of Friends has attracted over 700 members and the support of the Hampshire County Council and Gosport Borough Council. With a sound financial base, the Society has an ongoing programme to finance the conservation of photographs and other archive material, enhancing display galleries, staff training and the purchase of submarine related artefacts.

Care is taken that the members' generosity is focused on specific projects to improve the Museum and its collection.

FAS does exactly what it says - helping our former Fusilier soldiers who bear the physical and mental scars of combat in the service of our country; and to those who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own; or helping them and their families deal with problems stemming from age-related illness or tragic accidents.

Every year, FAS helps over 200 serving and former members of the Fusilier family, distributing over £125,000. But there is always a need for FAS’ services. No case is typical, everyone faces a different problem; and we are now seeing more complex situations that need greater inter-charity liaison to ensure the best outcome.

One of FAS’ greatest strengths is that there are few challenges we haven’t seen – and resolved. And if FAS cannot meet all the needs of a Fusilier, we seek help from our charitable friends, help which is rarely refused. For example, FAS works in close partnership with The Army Benevolent Fund and the other main military charities to draw support from their resources.

We help members of the armed forces and emergency services personnel in any way we can, with practical, medical and financial help, wherever and whenever we can in the UK.

The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment Benevolent Fund supports veterans from the PWRR, known as 'The Tigers' and forebear regiments in times of need by providing financial assistance and advice.

The charity regularly grants payments totalling £150k in direct support to veterans to assist with home appliance replacement, mobility and home adjustments after injury or illness to name a few.

We also look after the members of forebear regiments which is just as important now as many are elderly and require our help. 

Your contribution to this lottery will go a long way to alleviate suffering, stress and worry where money is concerned.

Best of luck!

The Royal Air Force Charitable Trust's mission is to promote the Royal Air Force, to support its people now and into the future and to encourage air-mindedness and the aviation-related education of youth.

The Trustees award grants to those people and projects that they assess to be most worthy of financial support and most closely aligned to their charitable objectives.
