The A1 Crab Supplies Christmas Raffle is back - looking to raise £000s more for the local RNLI.
Over the previous two years, this event has raised £40,000 for the St Peter Port lifeboat.
The organisers - led by Bernie Le Gallais of A1 Crab Supplies, and his son 'Little Ted' - are hoping to boost that amount even further this year.
They've got off to a great start, with thousands of pounds of tickets already being sold.
Last weekend alone, the team sold more than 800 at the Charities Christmas Fayre at Beau Sejour.
"This is the third year I’ve been running the big Christmas Raffle," explained Bernie.
"In the last two years we’ve raised £40,000 for the Guernsey lifeboat, as all the money stays in the island."
Bernie is confident this year's raffle will be another 'bumper draw' too with more than 200 prizes donated by local businesses or individuals.
The prizes include physical items including luxury gifts, homewares, foods and drinks, and numerous vouchers including for overnight hotel stays, restaurants, butchers, and photographers.
Tickets are £2 each and are currently available at these outlets: The RNLI shop, Smilers, Sprinkle of Magic, St Peter's Post Office, The Tuck Shop, Valpys, Whiteway Motors, Earlswood Garden Centre, Cobblers in the Arcade, Addisons Sandwich Bar, Cobo Village Centre, Randall’s Grandes Rocques, Country Butchers, Cobo Service Station, Stan Brouard, L'Islet Kiosk, La Couture Inn, Mick's Fishing Supplies, and Charlie's Butchers.
Bernie said tickets will also be on sale at festive events over the coming weeks too.
Tickets are also available at the business website, A1 Crab.
