Sporting Chance Prize Draw is a not-for-profit organisation that brings together the UK's sporting community and charities. We create and run the annual Sporting Chance Prize Draw (every March), secure amazing sporting prizes and manage the promotion. Our charity partners use our platform to raise funds from their own donor and supporter bases.
The UK's sporting community kindly donates exciting sports-related prizes, at no cost.
On 1st March at 12 noon (GMT), the Prize Draw opens and is available to enter via our website. Each donation made goes to the donor's chosen UK charity, accessible via the drop-down list or a unique URL provided by the charity.
On 15th March at 12 noon (GMT), the Prize Draw closes. The draw is made later that day.
The winners are revealed from 18th March.
The process of gathering amazing sporting prizes then starts again!
The Prize Draw will be open for entries between 1st March - 15th March 2024, only.

We are privately financed by several Founder Partners of Sporting Chance Prize Draw, who ensure all administration costs associated with the Sporting Chance Prize Draw platform are paid for. This includes any donation transaction fees that donors decide not to cover themselves. Therefore, all the money raised from the Prize Draw is donated to charity.
Many small charities across the UK had their fundraising events postponed, or cancelled entirely, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sporting Chance Prize Draw was formed as a response – offering UK charities the chance to fundraise without the need to create or deliver an in-person fundraising event. Our ambition is to grow the platform and the number of causes we support.
Over £120,000 has been raised for charity via the Sporting Chance Prize Draw platform so far.
Our first three Prize Draws, held in March 2021, 2022 and 2023, helped support small UK charities at a time when income from fundraising events was impacted because of the pandemic.
In March 2024, we will be accelerating our impact even further.
No. We provide charities with our donation platform (website); we source the vast majority of the amazing sporting prizes; and every penny the charities raise, goes straight to charity.
