Winner Wonderland

Descriptor: First we see various shots of the Winner Wonderland tour bus driving past snow-covered countryside. We then see shots of National Lottery jackpot winners preparing gifts for the tour, before seeing them giving presents to children at hospices.

Narrator: This Christmas, some of the biggest National Lottery jackpot winners joined forces for the week-long Winner Wonderland tour of hospices across Britain, delivering sacks full of presents to poorly children.

Descriptor: We now see the jackpot winners getting off the Winner Wonderland bus carrying large bags of presents, before seeing various shots of children and parents in the hospice.

Narrator: We caught up with the tour at Claire House Children’s Hospice in the Wirral, Merseyside, which provides care to children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

Descriptor: We now see children in the hospice as we meet David Pastor, who is the CEO of Claire House.

David Pastor: People think that perhaps it must be a sad place, but actually it’s a positive, ah, vibrant place that’s full of life, and we see far more happiness than we do sadness.

Descriptor: We are now introduced to Lesa Chappell, a Care Manager at Claire House. As Lesa speaks, we see the Winner Wonderland jackpot winners enter the hospice with presents.

Lesa Chappell: I think any family that has, um, a disabled child living with them, it’s really difficult to even try and understand how complex their lives are. And if there wasn’t somewhere like Claire House, em, they often say, they don’t know what they’d do.

Descriptor: We now see a young boy in a wheelchair looking at a Christmas tree, before meeting Damien Kelly, whose daughter was a resident at Claire House.

Damien Kelly: My daughter sadly passed away at Claire House, em, you know it needs to be here for, for children that have conditions and stuff. I would say I’m grateful for them and what, what they’ve done for my daughter and my family, eternally grateful.

Descriptor: We now see the Winner Wonderland jackpot winners interacting with staff, children and parents at Claire House, chatting and handing out presents, before being introduced to Ben Woods, who won £2.5 million on the National Lottery.

Ben Woods: Ah, we’re here with the National Lottery today to, em, donate various gifts and presents for the kids and their parents. But I literally live not more than a mile away from here, ah, this is a local charity to me. They’re caring for so many children, ah, doing a fantastic job, and they just need all the help they can get.

Descriptor: We now see fast shots of jackpot winners, parents, children and staff at Claire House chatting, before we meet Brian Caswell, who won £24.9 million on the National Lottery.

Brian Caswell: All the people here that’s come from the National Lottery have been very, very lucky indeed. Is it, isn’t it only fair that if you can, give something, a bit back?

Descriptor: Once again we see shots of the jackpot winners talking to parents and children at Claire House, before meeting Clair Bedford, a Relationships Manager. As she speaks, we see further shots of the jackpot winners at the hospice.

Clair Bedford: These people, they’ve won the Lottery, they could go home and spend the money on themselves and their families and friends, but at Christmas time, they’ve chosen to come to Claire House, laden with, with gifts for the, for the hospice. The children have loved it and the staff have loved it, so thank you.

Descriptor: Finally we see shots of children and jackpot winners smiling at the hospice, before focusing in on a Santa Claus soft toy holding a banner over its head, which reads, "Merry Christmas".
