The Wealden Community Lottery, launched by Wealden District Council in March 2023, now:
· supports over 122 Wealden local organisations.
· Has raised more than £185,000 over the past three years for local organisations, helping to fund not only local projects and initiatives but also essential core and ongoing running costs.
On average, around 2,000 tickets are sold each week, giving residents the chance to be entered into weekly draws with prizes of up to £25,000. Notably, out of over 120 local authority lotteries nationwide, Wealden is currently ranked 3rd for ticket sales, demonstrating the strong local support and engagement the lottery has achieved.
This success has been made possible through the support of local champions like you, who play a vital role in raising awareness and connecting residents and organisations with this valuable opportunity.
Every £1 ticket purchased directly benefits the local area, with 50% going to a chosen Wealden good cause, whether that’s a charity, sports club, parish and town council, voluntary organisation, or not-for-profit group. With your support in promoting the lottery, even more funding can be generated for the communities you represent.
This is where you can make a real difference.
