Behind them all the way

£27 billion and counting...

-
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.
