“For me I have such great memories from Christmas - it was presents, fun, laughter, excitement and love. I do one charity raffle every year and this year I have picked children’s charity Barnardos. I’m so happy to be help to raise money and awareness for Barnardos and the work they do," Lisa McGowan said.

"Since the raffle went live, I’ve been reading messages from so many who have used Barnardos services and I've been blown away. Barnardos are doing phenomenal work out there, I’m so delighted so many have gotten behind me. I want to keep it going and for the raffle to do well. I really want more children to feel the magic of Christmas – every child deserves to feel that. If you can give even €5, I’m asking people to donate and to help wrap up some happiness and smiles.”
