This week marks an amazing milestone for the National Lottery, as the 500,000th grant is awarded. To celebrate the news, we’re showcasing the wide range of people, places and projects that have benefitted from Lottery funding and encouraging everyone to join in.
On average £36 million a week is raised by National Lottery players to go to good causes across the UK.
Are you part of a community or sports club that’s received support? Has a theatre production been made possible or a historic building near you been saved thanks to Lottery money?
Join in and share your messages and stories on social media this week (1-4 November) using #LoveLottery.
