Three years of the Cheltenham Lottery
The Lottery supports good causes in Cheltenham
The Cheltenham Lottery is celebrating it's third anniversary - and has supported many local causes over that time.
Over £100,000 has been donated since 2019 around the Borough.
The Borough Council says "it's all thanks to generous supporters who buy a weekly £1 ticket".
Currently over 80 good causes have signed up to the lottery and are directly benefitting from the money raised.
Cheltenham Lottery supports a wide range of causes in Cheltenham, including animal welfare, education, and arts organisations, as well as organisations that help children, disadvantaged groups, and the elderly.
Councillor Flo Clucas, cabinet member for communities and safety, said: “It's wonderful to see how the Cheltenham Lottery has supported our community over the last three years.
"We all know how hard the last few years have been on our local charities and community groups"
"It has been difficult for them to fundraise in the in the usual way and that’s why they need our help now more than ever, and the lottery is a very simple and rewarding way to do this.”
Charles Welsh, Executive Head at Gardners Lane and Oakwood Federation and school representative on the No Child Left Behind steering said: “The Cheltenham Lottery has brought in over £13,000 for No Child Left Behind which has enabled us to deliver direct support for children growing up in poverty such as laptops for learning project. I’d encourage as many people as possible to play the lottery.”
