The public is being asked to help shape how National Lottery funding for good causes should be distributed in future.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has opened a 12-week call for evidence, saying no Government had asked the public for two decades how National Lottery good-cause money should be spent. The review will consider where future investment can have the greatest impact and how access to funding can be improved.
The Government said the National Lottery generated more than £8 billion in ticket sales in 2025, with at least £1.7 billion going to good causes. Funding is currently split across arts and culture, sport, heritage and community projects.
