The rocking horse - which is on display at Les Cotils - is described as a "one-of-a-kind piece, with detailed woodwork, painting, and leatherwork all created by local craftsman Steve Glass".
He is hoping the raffle raises lots of money for both charities.
“Making the horse has taken many, many hours – I can’t count how many and it has been a labour of love, but I’m so glad that any proceeds from the raffle will go to such worthy local charities. I hope whoever wins it will get lots of joy from it.”
Tickets are available at £2 each with all of the proceeds from the raffle going towards supporting the work of Guernsey Mind and Les Cotils.
