Wouldn't it be great if there was some way to get excited about the wargaming hobby in combination with raising cash for charity?

Well, actually, there is! Over the last 6 months myself and some others have been pulling together a simply amazing pool of prizes for a charity raffle in aid of the international childrens' charity, UNICEF.

We are launching with an initial pool of 15 prizes, with a further 15 being added over the course of the project. Here are just some of the fabulous prizes up for grabs:


Regiment of unreleased Warhammer Empire Warrior Priests


Ratspike artbook signed by John Blanche


Original 1987 pencil sketch of Warhammer 40,000 orks by Ian Miller


Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Terminator painted by Paul Sanderson

Donations are made through JustGiving - the secure charitable donations platform (linked from the Project Alchemy website) using credit or debit card, or paypal. Every £1 donated to the project qualifies the donor to receive a raffle ticket to be entered into the draw (i.e. £5 donated = 5 tickets). The donation period runs until 9th November, after which the prize draw will be made.

Please take a look at the website http://project-alchemy.weebly.com/

Please donate generously!

Just over £200 raised on the first day - great result & thanks to everyone who has contributed so far.

Please take a look - if you like what you see, why not donate a couple of ££?!

Good for you.

Donated and shared.

Great stuff! Thanks very much!

Great approach to fundraising, well done.

I get paid on Monday so I'll be chipping in then!

Excellent. Let's hope pay day brings in some nice donations! Good luck with the draw

Our current total is £673! As an incentive to donate, the prize pool gets bigger - five fantastic new prizes have just been added. A superb classic Iron Claw Space Pirate painted by Battlebrush Studios, artwork by Des Hanley and Roberto Cirillo, as well as some rather tasty miniatures. Here's a teaser, to see all the new prizes and for information on how to win them, visit the Project Alchemy website or Facebook page

At roughly halfway through the fundraising period, we've broken the £1,000 total - a fantastic result and thanks to all who have donated to date. Don't forget, the more you donate, the more chances you have to win, as every £1 = 1 entry into the prize draw.

To help encourage more donations, we've added another 5 fantastic prizes to the pool for the draw:











Good luck, and thanks for your donations!

Just 2 weeks to go before entries to the prize draw are closed on 9th November. Our current total is £1,265...we'd love to hit the £2,000 target, so if you haven't already donated, or can spare just a few ££ more, here's the final 5 prizes to try and tempt you!











Remember, every £1 donated = 1 entry to the prize draw - the more you donate, the more chances you have of winning something great in time for Christmas!

So close to the total now with nearly £1,500 donated in aid of UNICEF! Thanks to all of you who have delved into your pockets so far. Remember, you can only be entered into the prize draw with donations received by Sunday 9th November. Every £1 donated = 1 entry to the draw, so the more you donate, the more chances of snagging a prize you have.

Let's try and hit that £2,000 target!

So close to the total with £1,778 donated! Remember, if you want to be in with a chance of winning one of the 30 fantastic prizes, you need to donate by this coming Sunday (9th November) over at www.project-alchemy.weebly.com
