The 1804 Weekly Draw

The 1804 Weekly Draw is available through Melanoma UK's partnership with NYCDA, a not-for-profit organisation that helps raise essential funds through a weekly lottery.

Our lottery draw is named after the French physician René Laennec who first identified melanoma as a disease in its own right, in 1804. Over two hundred years later, it remains one of the fastest-growing cancers in the UK. By joining the 1804 Weekly Draw, you are helping to change that story.

By entering, you directly support our national work to prevent melanoma and protect more lives across the UK.

Your participation allows us to deliver sun safety campaigns, provide accurate information, support healthcare professionals, and invest in early detection and research. This is about more than winning. It is about real impact.

Gift Aid

Gift Aid; a tax relief for UK charities to increase donations  at no extra cost to the donor.
When we receive a donation from a UK taxpayer, we are entitled to claim an extra 25% paid on that donation.

A £10 donation processed with Gift Aid becomes a £12.50 donation.


Donors simply tick the tickbox the on the Gift Aid declaration form and provide some basic personal details. We can then can claim 25p for every £1 donated. Once you have given permission by filling in the Gift Aid declaration form, there is no need to do anything else.

Who qualifies to donate through Gift Aid?

For us to claim donation Gift Aid, the donor must have paid UK income tax or capital gains tax that tax year, at least equal to the tax that the organisation will reclaim on the individual’s donations. Even if the donor is not currently employed they are eligible to make Gift Aid payments so long as, at some point in the donation tax year, they have paid enough tax on any of the following:

  • Personal or occupational pension
  • Stocks or shares
  • Bank or building society savings accounts
  • Rental income
  • Overseas or UK investment dividends

Higher rate tax payers

Higher rate tax payers are entitled to claim the difference between the top rate of tax they pay, and the basic rate on the total value of the donation. Individuals can claim the additional tax relief through their self-assessment tax return or by asking HMRC to amend their tax code.

Example for higher rate tax payer
You donate £100 to charity – they claim Gift Aid to make your donation £125. You pay 40% tax so you can personally claim back £25.00 (£125 x 20%).
