Recently our Founder Lorna and CEO Ruth attended the 30th birthday of the National Lottery!
It was held at the Science Museum in London, with a fancy dinner, singers, entertainment from Chris Evans and much more.
Since its launch in 1994, the National Lottery has raised £50 billion for Good Causes – that’s about £30 million a week, supporting over 700,000 projects! We’re very proud to be one of the recipients, having been awarded three year funding from The National Lottery Community Fund earlier this year.
Our CEO Ruth said, “It was interesting to hear from Sir John Major whose Government launched the lottery and who was in fact the first person to buy a lottery ticket when it launched.”
It’s brilliant to see how the Lottery has helped so many organisations and people, we’re looking forward to the next 30 years!
