Cancer charity Maggie’s announced as Omaze’s new charity partner

A draw to win a stunning Lake District home OR take home £5,000,000 in cash instead will raise vital funds for Maggie’s

Leading cancer charity Maggie’s has today been revealed as the new charity partner of Omaze.

By entering the incredible Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Lake District, people will be helping Maggie’s to build a new centre to support growing numbers of people with cancer.

The guaranteed £1,000,000 from the Lake District House Draw will help to build a new Maggie’s centre in Coventry – the first of its kind in the West Midlands.

The announcement comes alongside the charity marking 30 years of providing expert and free support to people impacted by cancer.

The new centre will be a welcoming space for people impacted by cancer and those who love them, a place where they can find connection, comfort and community.

There are currently 27 Maggie’s cancer support centres across the UK and the first opened in Edinburgh in November 1996.

The partnership is backed by Maggie’s supporter and actor Stanley Tucci.  You can watch Stanley talking about his support of Maggie’s and Omaze  here.

Dame Laura Lee DBE, Chief Executive of Maggie’s, said: “We feel incredibly lucky to have been chosen as an Omaze partner.

“A cancer diagnosis can turn life upside down in an instant. At Maggie’s, we’re here to make sure no one has to face it alone, offering expert support and a welcoming space to turn for people with cancer, as well as their family and friends, when they need us most.

“With growing numbers of people being diagnosed with cancer, our support has never been more important. Thanks to the generosity of the Omaze community, we’ll be able to reach thousands more, ensuring people have somewhere to turn when they need us most.”

The winner of the Omaze Million Pound House Draw, Lake District, can choose a six-bedroom lodge overlooking Windermere, in the Lake District National Park – or a whopping £5,000,000 in cash instead.

The contemporary property has breathtaking panoramic views across the water and comes with a separate boathouse and private jetty.

If the winner chooses the spectacular property, it comes mortgage-free, with stamp duty and eligible legal fees covered, plus furnishings included. They will also receive £250,000 in cash and can choose to move in, rent it out for supplementary income, or sell it whenever they wish to become a cash multimillionaire.

The ground floor has a bespoke, open-plan kitchen and spacious dining area as well as a lounge, gym, cinema room, games room, utility room and lavatory.

The first floor has three bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. The second floor has three further bedrooms, again each with its own en suite.

Set apart from the main house, the boathouse provides a living room, kitchen and lavatory.

The manicured grounds include a two-level terrace, outdoor kitchen and tin spa bath, as well as a private stretch of lakefront and jetty. There is off-road parking for up to six vehicles.

The property sits within the Lake District National Park, with Bowness-on-Windermere, Ambleside and Kendal among the nearby towns. Windermere station provides connections to the wider rail network.

Matt Pohlson, Founder and CEO of Omaze, said: “Everyone at Omaze is thrilled to be partnering with Maggie’s for our latest house draw.

“This dream lakeside home in the Lake District or £5,000,000 in cash will change one lucky winner’s life, whilst also helping Maggie’s support people affected by cancer.

“If the winner chooses the house, they can move into this beautiful home, rent it out for a supplementary income, or sell up and cash in whenever they wish. Whatever they choose, they have fantastic, life-changing options available to them.

“Omaze gives people the chance to win incredible prizes, whilst introducing charities to new audiences they wouldn’t normally reach – it’s a win-win for entrants and our charity partners.

“We’re immensely proud that the Omaze Community has now raised over £150 million for good causes across the UK.”
