15 November 2020

Between August 2019 and August 2020, Lincoln Community Lottery raised a grand total of £40,592.42 for good causes located in and around the City of Lincoln.

 

During this time 84 local good causes used the lottery as a tool to raise additional funds to support their great work in the local community.

 

Of the £40,592.42 raised, £11,500 was raised towards the Lincoln Lottery Community Fund. These funds were raised from 10 pence in every £1 ticket sold. Some supporters also chose Lincoln Lottery Community Fund as their nominated good cause. Where this was the case, 60 pence in every ticket sold went directly to the community fund.

 

Following a joint decision by the Lincoln Community Lottery Member Panel, these funds were allocated to the Lincoln City COVID-19 Community Response Fund. For further details on this allocation, visit https://www.lincoln.gov.uk/people-community/lincoln-community-lottery

Despite the pandemic, Lincoln Community Lottery is currently estimated to raise £41,000 for good causes between August 2020 and August 2021.
