Donate to our Paradise Board Game Convention Raffle

Turn your love of board games into real, lasting impact by taking part in the Paradise Convention Charity Raffle. This exciting community-led fundraiser brings together tabletop gamers, designers, publishers, retailers, and fans from across the hobby to support Andy’s Angels, a small bereavement charity helping children, young people, and families who are grieving the loss of a loved one.

Paradise Convention is known for celebrating the joy, creativity, and connection that board gaming brings to people of all ages. This year, we are harnessing that same spirit of community to make a difference beyond the gaming table. By entering the charity raffle, participants not only have the chance to win an incredible selection of games, exclusives, and prizes generously donated by members of the gaming community, but also directly contribute to vital bereavement support for families who need it most.

Grief can be isolating, especially for children and young people who may struggle to understand or express their feelings. Andy’s Angels provides safe spaces, emotional support, and creative activities that help families talk about loss, remember loved ones, and begin to rebuild their lives. As a small, volunteer-led charity, their work depends heavily on community support and fundraising initiatives like this one.

The Paradise Convention Charity Raffle is designed to be inclusive, fun, and accessible. Whether you are a seasoned board gamer, a casual player, a collector, or simply someone who wants to support a good cause, there is a place for you to get involved. Raffle prizes include a wide range of board games, limited editions, signed items, gaming accessories, and other hobby-related surprises that celebrate the passion and generosity of the tabletop community.

Every ticket purchased helps Andy’s Angels continue providing free bereavement support to children, young people, and families in their community. Funds raised will contribute towards one-to-one support sessions, group activities, memory and legacy projects for children, and resources that help families navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives. The raffle transforms enthusiasm for gaming into practical help for people facing profound loss.

One of the most powerful aspects of this campaign is the way it unites two communities around a shared purpose: the gaming community and families experiencing grief. Board games are about connection, storytelling, creativity, and bringing people together around a table. In many ways, these same values are central to the work of Andy’s Angels, where families are supported to reconnect, share memories, and find comfort through togetherness.

The raffle also highlights the generosity within the tabletop industry. Publishers, designers, artists, retailers, and content creators have contributed prizes to make this fundraiser truly special. Their support demonstrates how businesses and creators within the hobby can have a meaningful social impact by giving back through initiatives like this.

For attendees of Paradise Convention, the raffle adds another layer of excitement to the event. It offers a way to participate in something bigger than the convention itself and to leave knowing that your involvement has helped make a tangible difference. For those unable to attend in person, the raffle provides an opportunity to be part of the community spirit from afar while supporting an important cause.

Importantly, this campaign raises awareness as well as funds. By partnering with Andy’s Angels, Paradise Convention helps shine a light on the importance of bereavement support for children and families, a topic that is often difficult to talk about but affects many people. Through this fundraiser, conversations about grief, remembrance, and support become more visible and more approachable.

The simplicity of the raffle means anyone can take part. Buy a ticket, support a charity, and potentially win something fantastic. Behind that simple action is a powerful outcome: helping ensure that grieving families have somewhere to turn, someone to talk to, and support that is compassionate, understanding, and accessible.

Funds raised through the Paradise Convention Charity Raffle will help Andy’s Angels sustain and expand their work. This includes running support sessions, creating memory resources for children, training volunteers, and maintaining safe, welcoming spaces where families can seek help without barriers or waiting lists.

This campaign demonstrates how hobbies and communities can be a force for good. It shows that the joy of gaming can translate into hope and comfort for families experiencing some of the hardest moments of their lives. By taking part, supporters are not just entering a raffle; they are becoming part of a wider effort to ensure no child or family has to face grief alone.

So whether you’re hoping to win a new favourite game, a rare collectible, or simply want to contribute to a meaningful cause, the Paradise Convention Charity Raffle is your chance to turn your love of board games into genuine impact. Together, the gaming community can help Andy’s Angels continue providing the care, understanding, and support that grieving families deserve.
