Don’t Just Take Our Word for It
As a smaller charity and as sole fundraiser, finding sustainable and reliable income streams can be a real challenge. That’s why joining the BIG Lotto has been such an exciting opportunity for us. It gives us the chance to reach our local community in a simple, engaging way, while also generating regular, unrestricted income that we can depend on.
The whole process has been straightforward and easy to manage, with fantastic support throughout. All the heavy lifting - from compliance and licensing to contracts and day-to-day administration - is managed centrally, which takes away a huge burden. It means we can focus our time and energy on what really matters: raising money to support our community.
We’re really looking forward to seeing BIG Lotto grow and the difference it will make for our charity and the communities we support.
Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust
We’d wanted to launch a lottery for a long time, but the reality of getting one off the ground felt unmanageable for us as a charity. Working with BIG Lotto has been a real lifeline. The whole process has been straightforward and well supported, with clear documentation, helpful guidance and quick answers to every question along the way.
The team made what felt overwhelming completely achievable, and we felt confident and supported at every stage.
