PEOPLE’S POSTCODE LOTTERY FUNDING
January 22, 2016
Many community groups are aware of Big Lottery (National Lottery) grant funding, with their excellent ‘Awards for All’ small grants programme of up to £10,000 in any one year. This month we feature a funder that not so many people are familiar with ‘People’s Postcode Lottery Funding’
People’s Postcode Lottery manages society lotteries on behalf of a range of charitable bodies. These lotteries support charities and good causes. Players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised more than £99.6 Million for charity.
Players of People’s Postcode Lottery support sixteen Trusts. People’s Postcode Lottery has been operating in Great Britain since 2005. It mirrors the format of its sister lotteries in the Netherlands and Sweden.
There are three main pots that are open in the UK that we shall focus on with various eligibility and aims at different times of the calendar year
