Hospital worker is raffling off his four-bedroom detached house to raise £50,000 for NHS

A hospital worker is raffling off his four bedroom detached house, valued at £350,000, to raise money for the NHS.

Nick Wyrill, thirty-four, is giving one lucky winner the chance to win his house ‘for the price of a coffee’, as well as donating 10% of the sale to an NHS charity if all tickets are sold – which will work out at £50,000.

Nick, an NHS Manager at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield, launched the competition on the app Raffall, where wannabe home owners can purchase a raffle ticket for just £2.

He and his wife Louise want to relocate to a bigger house with their one year old son, Arthur, but decided against going down the conventional selling route to do something a little more charitable, instead.

Speaking of his motive behind the unique give-away, Nick told Proper Manchester: “There are a couple of reasons why we want to make the donation; I wanted to give back to my colleagues for all their hard work in the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The challenges my teams have faced in the past 12 months and are still facing have been enormous. The NHS has done so much for us all and this allows us to give a thank you back to them.”

He also explained that his mum had sadly passed away after a battle with cancer last year, and that his dad is currently undergoing cancer treatment at the NHS hospital in which he works.

Nick added: “My mum sadly died of Cancer in March 2020 and my dad is sadly receiving treatment for Leukaemia at Pinderfields Hospital, after being diagnosed in January 2021.

“This has further sparked our desire to give something back to the NHS.”

The raffle will end on July 1st or when all 250,000 tickets are sold.
