All money raised will go towards fitting out Horticap's new cafe. The charity, which helps adults with learning disabilities, hopes to open it in the next few months.
There are six prizes in total which include vouchers, fruits, beauty treatments, hair treatments and cakes in hampers.
People can buy tickets at £2 a strip from the Wharfedale Fruiterers, Harlow House and Beauty, The Kitchen, The Sandwich Deli and Le Salon.
It has been a difficult few months for Nicola Jones from Harlow House and Beauty after she had to cancel treatments. She told the Stray Ferret:
"The first couple of weeks was great because everyone was desperate to get back and we were approaching August 1 when we were expecting to start with face treatments. But we had a day's notice to tell us that we actually couldn't start with those treatments again and we still don't know what's happening."
