[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1116968, member: 30007"] This argument has come up a number of times, and we always end up going round in circles. The question comes back to the same point. What is the purpose of the raffle? Is it to raise money for Diabetes UK or is it to educate people? As has already been mentioned, the majority of the UK population is not diabetic in any type, so if your answer to the question is "to raise money" then you raffle what gets cash in for tickets. If your answer is "To educate people" then I'd suggest that having a stall that educated rather than ran a raffle would be more appropriate and far less visited. In the meantime, you have something that raises money and allows some level of education. The aim after all, is to get non-Ds to put money into the charity. In order to do that, it's them you have to attract, not us. [/QUOTE]
