Because of You - What National Lottery players make possible
The National Lottery exists to change lives every day. Since 1994, it's been about offering hope - whether that's playing a EuroMillions draw, applying for National Lottery funding, or watching your inspirational project come to life.
Changing lives everyday
For over 31 years, National Lottery players have raised £52 billion for Good Causes - that’s £32 million every single week.
This support powers thousands of projects across the UK, funding everything from local community groups and world-class arts to protecting our rich heritage and supporting our Olympic and Paralympic heroes.
The National Lottery Promotions Unit (NLPU) exists to champion this impact - telling the stories, celebrating the people and places behind the projects, and showing how play is helping change lives in every corner of the UK.
Working collaboratively across The National Lottery family, with funded organisations and partners nationwide, we champion the stories that bring this impact to life.
Because of You
From grassroots changemakers to cultural icons and unforgettable sporting moments, we showcase how National Lottery funding empowers communities, unlocks potential and creates lasting change - all made possible by players.
