CHARITIES and organisations throughout the UK supporting communities bearing the brunt of the cost-of-living pressures are being given access to vital support from The National Lottery – as new research announced this week shows people across the country are predicting mounting difficulties for local services due to the impact of the current economic pressures.
Thanks to National Lottery players, thousands of projects throughout the UK are being supported to keep vital local facilities and services running this winter, with the money helping some of the most vulnerable people impacted by the cost-of-living pressures in our communities.
National Lottery funding distributors (encompassing sports, arts, heritage, and community) collectively awarded over £1 billion pounds to support communities throughout the UK during the Coronavirus pandemic, to help them cope and recover. Now the £30 million raised each week by National Lottery players for good causes is at the forefront in supporting communities who need it the most during the cost-of-living pressures.
