We have another WINNER!

I’ve been playing the Adoption Matters charity lottery since November 2025, and was delighted to be a winner in March!  When we signed up to become adopters, we hadn’t realised that Adoption Matters was a charity, which means that the great work they do is made possible by securing funding and donations.  The lottery was a no brainer – we know it helps to provide the charity with a sustainable income, meaning families like us receive excellent support.  With our new little one arriving in our lives very soon, the winnings will go towards something special for their bedroom.  If you want to support this brilliant charity, I would say playing their charity lottery is a great way to do it – the winning is great of course – but knowing that taking part is helping adopted children is the best feeling ever.

Why your support matters

As a children’s charity, we rely on our supporters to help us offer more enhanced support services to our families, so we are here for them, when they need us the most.

There are currently over 3,000 children waiting for adoption in England. In our history, we have placed over 6,000 children with our adopter families, and we offer them support for life. Our adopters Rachael & Paul pictured with their 3 adopted children.

Our charity lottery income helps us provide additional, dependable funding which enables us to offer support when families need it most.

About our lottery

We run the Adoption Matters Charity Lottery as the licensed promoter, and we partner with Bee-Ethical Ltd, an External Lottery Manager, who manage the lottery platform Bee-Smart and the day-to-day administration needed to operate the lottery responsibly.

We chose to take part in this lottery platform because every ticket sold directly supports our families through training, peer groups, therapeutic sessions, webinars and events so they can then support their adopted children to become everything they hope to be.

As a charity, to be able to offer our supporters the chance to win up to £25,000 every single month just wouldn’t be possible. The prizes are funded by our lottery partner Bee-Ethical, so an amazing reward for our supporters.

We are delighted that we have already had a number of winners including a £5,000 winner!  (We’d love to share more about our winners, but they’ve requested privacy — and we fully respect that!).
