The Old Railway Line Garden Centre, Farm Shop and Restaurant is celebrating after its Grand Charity Raffle raised an incredible £8,870 for The Bracken Trust, its chosen Charity of the Year for 2026.

The raffle draw took place at the garden centre on Saturday 7th November, bringing the fundraising campaign to an exciting close. With more than £5,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, the draw featured some fantastic top prizes, including a Bramblecrest Chedworth 4-seat dining set and a Weber Spirit E-315 Gas BBQ, alongside a wonderful selection of other prizes.

All winners have now been contacted, and The Old Railway Line would like to extend its congratulations to everyone who was lucky enough to win!

Every penny raised will go directly to The Bracken Trust, and the garden centre would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who purchased tickets, donated prizes and helped make the raffle such a success.

Lisa Griffiths, Chief Executive Officer at The Bracken Trust, said: “We would like to thank everyone at The Old Railway Line, their customers and suppliers for supporting The Bracken Trust as your chosen charity of the year. The amazingly generous monies raised make an enormous difference to the communities we support across Powys. Thank you to everyone who has supported The Bracken Trust through our wonderful partnership with The Old Railway Line, supporting events and buying tickets for the Grand Draw.”

The Bracken Trust provides support to people affected by cancer, as well as their families and carers. Through its centres and community support across Powys, the charity offers a welcoming place for people to access practical and emotional support.

The Old Railway Line is incredibly proud to support The Bracken Trust throughout 2026. The £8,870 raised through the Grand Charity Raffle is a wonderful reflection of what can be achieved when a community comes together for a good cause.

A huge thank you once again to everyone who played a part in making the Grand Charity Raffle such a success!
