  • Behind them all the way

    Great Britain won just one gold medal at the 1996 Olympics. In 2008, following the introduction of National Lottery funding, we had 19 gold medalists - with all of them receiving support from The National Lottery.

  • Benefiting every community

    There's an average of 120 National Lottery-funded projects in each of the UK's 2900 postcode districts.

  • £27 billion and counting...

    Since the National Lottery began, a whopping £27 billion has been raised for Good Causes. And there's much, much more to come...

  • Funding fairness

    We work hard to distribute National Lottery money fairly. We also have a helpline and website that provides advice on funding.

  • Making a difference to millions

    70% of all grants are below £10,000 - reaching every community across the UK.

  • Giving more back

    The UK National Lottery returns a higher proportion of Lottery revenue back to society than any other Lottery operator in the world.

  • Helping locally, helping nationally

    Our grants sometimes contain a hidden wealth of good news. Large nationwide awards are often registered to just one place - typically the HQ of the organisation receiving the funding - yet benefit communities across the UK.
