It’s not too late though, good causes still are being encouraged to sign up, there’s no limit on the number of causes that can join. Each good cause will be given its own page on the website to direct their supporters to. Causes will receive 50p from every £1 ticket they sell, with a further 10p going into a Central Fund that will also be distributed to good causes. Any not-for-profit organisation that is interested can sign up here: https://www.lottomerthyrtydfil.co.uk/

Fundraising with the lottery allows you to raise money online, all year round without needing to print tickets or source prizes. It gives supporters a fun way to boost fundraising, and maybe even win a cash prize.

Ticket sales for the lottery will launched on 30th June, with the first draw taking place on 18th July. Players will have the chance to win cash prizes of up to £25,000, whilst supporting the good cause of their choice. It’s a win-win situation!

Our Community Coordinator Ian recently visited a respiratory support group run by Cwm Taf Morgannwg Health Board.
It’s fantastic to see people coming together to support their health, share experiences, and build confidence in managing respiratory conditions.
Groups like this play such an important role in improving wellbeing and reducing isolation—well done to everyone involved!
