How Cole & Abbie Turned Personal Loss into £633,891 Raised Through Raffles in Under Two Months

Introduction

Some stories start with an idea. Others start with a reason. For UK content creators Cole & Abbie, their Raffall journey began during one of the most difficult periods of their lives — and evolved into a powerful example of how raffles can be used not just to generate revenue, but to create meaning, momentum, and real-world impact.

After recently losing one of their twin babies at 12 weeks pregnant, Cole & Abbie made a decision. Instead of retreating from their audience, they chose to turn their hurt into something positive, launching a £1 to £1 million fundraising challenge for Sands UK — a charity that supports those affected by baby loss.

What followed was extraordinary.

Cole & Abbie already had an engaged audience — 3.8 million followers on TikTok, 1.8 million on Facebook, and 483k on Instagram — but this wasn’t about reach alone. It was about trust. Their audience didn’t just watch them; they believed in them. And that belief became the foundation for everything that followed.

Starting With Purpose, Not Pressure

Their first raffle launched in November 2025, and it couldn’t have been more modest. A lamp table, priced at £1 per ticket. No hype. No exaggerated promises. Just a simple, accessible entry point that allowed supporters to be part of something positive.

That first raffle sold 17,178 tickets, instantly proving that when people understand why they’re entering — and trust the process — participation follows naturally.

Raffall’s independent draw system and clear legal framework played a crucial role. Cole & Abbie could confidently tell their audience that every raffle was fair, transparent, and compliant — something especially important when fundraising around such a sensitive cause.

Momentum Built on Transparency and Consistency

What came next wasn’t a single viral moment, but consistent action. In under two months, Cole & Abbie hosted 15 raffles, gradually expanding the scale and variety of prizes while keeping ticket pricing accessible.

Their raffles included:

  • £20,000 split between four £5,000 cash winners
  • The Massive Tech Bundle
  • The Massive Ninja Bundle
  • The Massive Voucher Bundle worth £1,920
  • Free £100 cash
  • A 65-inch Samsung TV
  • £50,000 on Christmas Day
  • A Fiat 500
  • And multiple Christmas-themed prize bundles

Each raffle followed the same principles: clear prizes, clear ticket pricing, and clear draw dates. No ambiguity. No confusion. Just raffles done properly.

By removing friction and maintaining transparency, fans felt safe entering repeatedly — not just to win, but to support a cause they believed in.

£633,891 Raised — and Growing

In under two months, Cole & Abbie generated £633,891 in raffle revenue on Raffall. That figure alone is impressive — but the context makes it even more powerful.

This wasn’t opportunistic fundraising. It was purpose-led. Their raffles became a way for supporters to contribute to something meaningful while still enjoying the excitement of winning. Raffall’s platform ensured that donations, draws, and outcomes were handled with integrity, protecting both the hosts and their entrants.


For charities like Sands UK, this model opens the door to scalable, compliant fundraising driven by creator communities — without relying on traditional donation fatigue.

A New Standard for Purpose-Driven Raffles

Cole & Abbie’s story isn’t just about numbers. It’s about what happens when creators lead with honesty and use the right tools to support it. By choosing Raffall, they were able to focus on storytelling, community, and impact — while Raffall handled compliance, payments, and independent draws.

Their £1 to £1 million challenge is still ongoing, but one thing is already clear: raffles can be more than promotions. When run transparently and responsibly, they can become a powerful force for good.
