Hart Lottery is a weekly lottery that raises money for good causes in Hart.

Lottery tickets are £1 each, with 60p going to local good causes. 

When you buy a ticket, you can choose a specific good cause to benefit. In this case, 50p goes to that cause and 10p goes to the Hart Central Fund. Money from this fund is distributed annually among the Hart Chairman's charities for that year. You can also choose the central fund as your good cause.

Each ticket has a 1 in 50 chance of winning a prize every week. This includes the £25,000 jackpot prize if all six numbers are matched, as well as various other cash prizes.

When someone has died, you will have lots of things to do, at a time when you probably least feel like doing them. One of these is letting government departments know about the death.

You can use the Tell Us Once service to report a death to most government organisations in one go. This means you don't have to tell departments individually. This a free service. You don't have to use Tell Us Once but it can be very helpful.

There are large cemeteries at Basingstoke and Aldershot with cremation facilities.

We look after four closed churchyards in the district. These are:

• Saint Peter’s, Yateley
