The money raised by people playing the Lottery supports Good Causes that reach out to young people and give them a chance. If there's nothing to do or focus on, kids will find something else - and that won't always be a healthy, safe hobby. It’s so important that youth projects exist and continue to play a vital part of communities across the country.

Lottery players raise £25million a week, that helps fund amazing projects that really positively impact people's lives. For me, any project – arts, culture, heritage or otherwise - that challenges prejudices and stereotypes is something to get involved with.

Having an open space like a garden to enjoy brings so many benefits to people’s health and wellbeing and gives people a real reason to get out and embrace life - it’s something many people take for granted but it’s not always possible to have access to a garden at home. The volunteers at the Shirley Warren Community Garden had the vision to transform a derelict piece of wasteland into a beautiful space for the whole community, and Lottery players have helped to make this and many other projects like it a reality.”
