Win Eurostar Tickets And Lake District Getaway In Futureproof Cumbria Charity Prize Draw
Residents across Cumbria have the chance to win a range of prizes, including Eurostar tickets and a Lake District getaway, as Futureproof Cumbria launches its annual Festive Prize Draw to raise funds for climate action.
The charity's latest fundraising initiative features a selection of experiences and gifts donated by businesses and organisations across Cumbria and beyond. Among the main prizes is a two-night stay at The Quiet Site's Gingerbread House, alongside return Eurostar tickets offering an opportunity for an international trip. The draw also includes a five-course lunch for two at Michelin-starred restaurant The Cottage in the Wood, giving food lovers the chance to enjoy a special dining experience.
Other prizes include a candle-making masterclass with Pure Lakes and a hamper of environmentally friendly products from Goodness & Grain. The selection is designed to offer a variety of experiences and gifts while highlighting the generosity of businesses supporting the charity's fundraising efforts. Organisers have thanked the participating companies and organisations for contributing prizes to help make this year's draw possible.
Entries cost £5, with different entry options available for participants. The prize draw will close at 12 noon on Wednesday, 2 December 2026. A free postal entry route is also available, allowing people to participate without purchasing a ticket. Full details of the prizes, entry arrangements and terms are available through Futureproof Cumbria's official website.
Money raised through the initiative will support the charity's work helping households, communities and businesses across the county respond to climate change. Its activities include providing free, independent home energy advice to residents looking to improve energy efficiency, reduce heating costs and make their homes more comfortable. The organisation also supports community energy projects and helps local groups explore practical ways to reduce their environmental impact.
Futureproof Cumbria works with businesses and organisations to encourage more sustainable practices, while also delivering carbon literacy training and educational events. Its work aims to make climate action more accessible by providing information, practical guidance and support for people who want to make changes in their homes, workplaces and communities. Fundraising activities such as the festive draw help the charity continue delivering these services across the county.
Helena Davies, Marketing Manager at Futureproof Cumbria, said the organisation was grateful to the businesses and organisations that had contributed prizes. She said the selection included some fantastic opportunities and thanked everyone involved in supporting the annual fundraising campaign. Davies also explained that fundraising was particularly important for a small charity seeking to extend its reach and help more people across Cumbria.
She added that the money raised would help the organisation support households in making their properties warmer and cheaper to heat, assist local sustainability groups and deliver more of its training programmes and events. The charity said every entry would contribute towards its work, allowing it to reach additional residents and organisations seeking practical support with environmental improvements.
The organisation describes its long-term vision as achieving a zero-carbon, greener Cumbria by 2037, with an approach that considers the needs of local people, communities, businesses and livelihoods. Its mission centres on encouraging action against the climate crisis and helping individuals and organisations make sustainable changes. The festive prize draw forms part of its wider efforts to secure support for this work.
