The Leeds Brief friends draw: terms

Terms for the monthly £20 Leeds independent voucher draw. Free to enter.

These are the terms for the monthly The Leeds Brief friends draw. They're short, and they're the rules we follow. If anything's unclear, email fitwcentral+leeds@gmail.com and I'll explain. – Will

The prize

Each monthly draw has one prize: a £20 voucher to spend at an independent business in Leeds, chosen by us (for example a café, bookshop or record shop). There's no cash alternative. If the chosen business can't supply a voucher, we'll swap it for a voucher of the same value at another Leeds independent.

Who can enter

  • UK residents aged 18 or over.
  • Not open to anyone who works for the promoter, or their immediate family.
  • Entry is free. No purchase or payment is necessary, and you don't need to be a paying member. Paid membership gives no extra entries.

How to enter

There are two ways to enter, and both give exactly the same chance of winning:

  1. Share, then reply "shared". Share The Leeds Brief with anyone (WhatsApp, email, or send them https://the-leeds-brief-1.ghost.io/?ref=friend). Then reply "shared" to any The Leeds Brief email, or email fitwcentral+leeds@gmail.com with the word "shared". That gives you one entry in that month's draw. The person you share it with does not need to sign up.
  2. Free entry without sharing. Email fitwcentral+leeds@gmail.com with the subject "Draw entry", your name and the area of Leeds you live in. This route is open to everyone, so nobody is left out. No purchase or payment is necessary.

Each person can have one entry per monthly draw, whichever route they use. Entries sent in bulk, automatically or by a third party won't count.

Dates

  • November 2026 draw: opens 11 November 2026. Closes 23:59 UK time on Monday 30 November 2026. Drawn by Monday 7 December 2026.
  • December 2026 draw: opens 1 December 2026. Closes 23:59 UK time on Thursday 31 December 2026. Drawn by Thursday 7 January 2027.

If we run the draw in later months, we'll update this page with the new dates before the month starts. Entries count only for the month in which they're received.

How the winner is picked

All valid entries for the month are listed and numbered. The winner is picked at random using a random number generator, and we keep a dated record of the list and the result.

How the winner is told and announced

  • We email the winner within 7 days of the draw. The winner has 14 days to reply to claim the prize. If they don't, we draw again from the same entries.
  • We'll send the voucher within 28 days of the winner claiming it.
  • With the winner's consent, we announce their first name and area in the Saturday Brief and on this site. The winner's name and county are available on request by emailing fitwcentral+leeds@gmail.com.

Your data

We use the details you send us only to run the draw: to check entries, contact the winner and keep the draw record. We don't share them, and we delete entry details 3 months after each draw. Thank-you mentions in the Brief are opt-in, first name and area only. See our privacy policy.

The small print

  • We may refuse or remove an entry that breaks these terms.
  • If something outside our control stops the draw, we may change or cancel it, and we'll say so on this page.
  • These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
