East Lothian Community Lottery - Good Causes launch
As you may have heard in the news, we are launching a new online lottery called the East Lothian Community Lottery. We are initiating the lottery as we recognise that since the austerity measures have been underway by Central Government, the local voluntary and community sector are very often the hardest hit.
60p from every £1 ticket of the East Lothian Community Lottery will go directly to charities, voluntary organisations and other good causes like you. Players of the lottery can win a £25,000 jackpot, plus smaller prizes.
There are two parts to the East Lothian Community Lottery scheme - good causes, like yourself, will be able to have your own lottery page created, and 50p in every pound spent by players using your webpage will be retained by you. A further 10p in every pound will go into a general East Lothian Community Lottery good causes fund, with the remainder being put towards prizes, operating costs and VAT.
To get the most from the event, we invite you to attend the ‘Good Causes’ launch for the East Lothian Community Lottery on 23rd February with key members of your organisation. You will be able to hear all about the new lottery, how it works and how your organisation can directly benefit from participating.
The launch will take place via Zoom at 1pm where you will be joined by a specially selected number of other good causes in the East Lothian area.
There will be a short presentation by Gatherwell and Maureen Allan, Chief Officer. We'll be able to provide advice and guidance on what you have to do and the next steps. You can sign up on the day and be one of the first local organisations to benefit from East Lothian Community Lottery.
Register now through Eventbrite and we look forward to seeing you on the day.
