Life changing

Jill, the ‘Goldies’ and a host of others say #ThanksToYou

As 2017 draws to a close we want to thank National Lottery players for all that they have made possible for communities across the UK. Every time you play The National Lottery, you are helping thousands of projects and organisations provide support to people through sports, heritage, arts and community projects.

Last year, there were more than 13,000 grants provided by the Big Lottery Fund, the specialist organisation that distributes the community funds raised by National Lottery players, these grants range from a few thousand up to millions of pounds, but all of them have one thing in common, to support communities and make a real difference to the quality of life of millions of people.
