Branoc Hall stands in the heart of beautiful Branscombe village, on East Devon's Jurassic Coast. Branoc Hall is used for numerous village activities and is also an ideal venue for wedding receptions, private parties and other family celebrations as well as commercial and corporate events.

The main hall with stage facilities can seat up to 150, licensed bar/social room and a large modern kitchen to cater for events and functions of almost any size. Add to this car parking, tennis court, children's play area and a playing field and you have a package that is hard to match anywhere in the area. It is available to hire, in its entirety or by individual rooms to suit all needs in the heart of rural Devon.

Unfortunately to maintain standards and comply with all the legislative regulations regarding health and safety, fire etc. a source of funds is needed to fund a constant schedule of maintenance and refurbishment. This is important so that the facilities are kept modern to meet the needs of the community now and in the future.

The BBRF support motorcyclists and their families across the UK, with serious and life changing injuries sustained in road traffic accidents.

Thank you for visiting the Explore York Libraries and Archives Unity Lottery page.

We all know how important libraries are. Last year, Explore York had over 1 million visitors, more than 2,000 books were borrowed every day, we held 1,466 events and told 1,734 stories to children.

Libraries are not just rooms full of books. Whether it is being able to understand about a health condition, take part in local democracy or find a job, being literate leads to improved chances in life.

Children who have books at home and parents who read to them do better at school. We bring people and books together and everything we do is aimed at sharing the joy of reading.

In an age of fake news, librarians are essential guides to accurate information that can be trusted. By bringing cultural activities into local communities we nurture talent for the arts. We help people try out new technologies in a safe environment. We make sure that no-one need be left behind.

With your help we can do even more.

By joining the Explore York Unity Lottery you will be helping us continue our essential work. Your support could spark a child living in poverty to go to university. It could help a disabled person discover a hidden talent for art. Or it could help an older person to unlock a new world of digital opportunities.

You can find further information about our work below.

We hope you will join the Explore York Unity Lottery to help raise funds and we wish you lots of luck.

Fareham Nomads Swimming Club (FNSC) was formed in 1974 before there was a public swimming pool in Fareham. Due to the lack of a home pool the Club took its name because in the early days it led a ‘nomadic’ existence, using various pools throughout the area for training until 1980 when Fareham Leisure Centre was opened.

Since then, the Club has grown considerably and today has a membership of around 250 children and young adults,

Our Mission is:

-To ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn to swim.
-To ensure that every member can achieve their personal goal within the sport.
-To ensure that every member has the opportunity to compete.

The Club is accredited to SwimMark which means it has reached the tough standards laid down by the National Governing Body (Swim England) for swimming clubs. Currently the Club holds two levels of accreditation, teaching and skills development.

We are also a registered charity.

Our work revolves around five main themes, homelessness, older people, disability, refugees and children and families. All of our services and projects reflect at least one of these key themes.

Our work takes place throughout the Archdiocese of Birmingham and is there to support, advise and care for individuals and families, who are experiencing a difficult time in their lives.

By supporting our Lottery you are helping to make a real difference to everyone who we support.

Thank you for looking at the webpage for Cumbrae Lottery. This lottery has been set up to help Friends of Millport Town Hall in their quest to rescue and regenerate this historic and much-loved building into a sustainable asset for the years ahead. This will be run by the community, for the community and will provide a vibrant and exciting venue for the Island and its visitors.

The building, like the Island, holds many nostalgic memories and is an important part of our history. We wish to update the building and utilize all the space available in the hope of providing a Heritage and Conservation Centre, an Arts and Culture venue and a Community Centre. We will help older people live life to the full, give young people exciting new opportunities to play and learn and bring great new ideas for the community.

All of this will help our fragile economy, provide employment, skills training and volunteering opportunities.

Habitat for Humanity Great Britain is a UK-based charity working to eliminate housing poverty worldwide. Across more than 60 countries, we support families living in unsafe, substandard housing by building and renovating homes, improving access to clean water and sanitation, and advocating for fair land rights.

A decent home is more than bricks and mortar – it’s a foundation for a brighter future. Yet millions of families around the world live without access to this basic human need, struggling daily with the devastating effects of poor living conditions.

From transforming empty spaces into homes here in Britain to providing clean water, safe toilets, and secure housing in Zambia, Malawi, and beyond, Habitat for Humanity works holistically to create lasting change. Every home we build strengthens a community, every clean water source we establish improves health, and every family we help creates a ripple effect of opportunity for generations to come.

This vital work is only possible with the support of people like you. By working together, we can all play a part, and we can all make a difference in creating a world where everyone has a safe place to live.

We are Habitat for Humanity. Together we build.

Hawcoat Park Sports and Social Club is an independent voluntary organization, (formerly Vickers/BAE Sports Club), who's aim is to encourage active participation by local people of all ages in a wide variety of recreational activities.

Our 15 acre Multi-Sports complex currently delivers facilities for a diverse range of both team and individual sports including Cricket, Rugby, Football, Tennis, Bowls, Table Tennis, Archery, Rifle/Pistol shooting and a Junior Brass Band.

These provide amenities for numerous local sportsmen together with facilitating an extensive and thriving youth policy.

The hall and bar areas provide social premises able to host events ranging from family celebrations to large events like the Keswick to Barrow walk.

The Club faces a new significant challenge since BAE negotiations have resulted in a considerable reduction in their support which now entails total site maintenance becoming the Clubs responsibility. This will require significant additional funding to ensure our sustained existence.

We believe the Club is a vital asset in promoting the health and wellbeing of the local community but we need help to preserve these facilities.

Please help us by supporting this Unity Lottery funding initiative to ensure the clubs future for current and future sporting generations.

The Herne Bay Community Lottery is a new, ground-breaking way to raise money for local groups and event organisers. In Herne Bay, we are blessed with many active community groups who do great things and organise great events for us and our visitors but there are two things they are all short of – volunteers and money. We can help find volunteers but the biggest single thing we can do is help to raise funds and fill the gap left by a severe shortage of public funding for community projects.

We, the Herne Bay Coastal Community Team, are leading the way in this new style of community funding and we need everyone who can afford it to get behind and support the local lottery and between us we'll be able to make Herne Bay a more prosperous, vibrant and safe place to live, visit, work & play, not just for ourselves but for generations to come.

You can help to raise much-needed funds for community projects and events in Herne Bay while standing the chance of winning a massive £25,000 weekly prize for yourself!

50p from every £1 InverLotto ticket goes directly to Inverclyde Community Fund (SC042844). Inverclyde Community Fund gives grants to charities and community groups based in Inverclyde so that they can provide local activities and services and every every penny you give goes to help local good causes.

By buying a ticket, your donation funds our grants, and our grants help all sorts of people across Inverclyde - helping older people live life to the full; giving young people exciting new opportunities to play and learn, and investing in great new ideas for communities.

Inverclyde Community Fund usually funds small organisations that don't employ staff. We do that because it is those groups that can do amazing things with just a few hundred pounds. Yet they often struggle to attract the funding they need.

With the support of people like you, we can make more grants to more groups. Winning for Inverclyde!

Jacobs Well Village Hall is now over forty years old and it is in need of T.L.C.

The village hall improvements fund is to bring the hall into the twenty first century so that all residents can benefit from this community asset.

80,000 young people experience homelessness each year in the UK.

People often think that this is an issue just in the big cities. The truth is it can happen anywhere. At key we work with around 400 young people each year.

Homelessness is a complex issue and is about more than housing.

Homelessness has a massive impact on the young people. For many, these problems have their root in suffering they have faced in their past, but without the right support; homelessness can lead to a downward spiral.

Young people say they have felt worthless and hopeless while they are homeless. Their lack of accommodation makes it impossible for them to plan a positive future.

Your support will help us to be there to help vulnerable young people to unlock their futures.

If you play 1 chance a week, £4.34 a month, it would help us to give vital information and support to someone struggling with the impact of homelessness.

If you play 2 chances a week, that's £8.68 a month; it could go towards counselling to help a young person face their past.

Kirkby Community Centre is a sports and social organisation for the benefit of the residents of Kirkby-in-Furness. There are facilities for football, cricket, bowls and tennis.

Kirkby Community Centre is situated on a playing field at Beckside and has been a registered charity since 1950. A Gala is held annually in July, with fell races, stalls, sideshows and children's entertainment.

The Community Centre is run by a committee which represents all the sports clubs and we now want to build an indoor sports and training facility to be used by teams and individuals. Burlington and Broughton primary schools also want to use the sports hall, and we will welcome users from the surrounding area. The Unity lottery will contribute to the Development Fund, which is used to improve the facilities for all users. The current focus of development is the sports hall, and we are holding other fundraising events and applying for various grants.

Please HELP us to provide opportunities to improve the health and fitness of everyone in Kirkby, especially the older and younger generations who need local and easily accessible activities.

The Lancaster & District Homeless Action Service (LDHAS) provides critical services for people experiencing poverty in the Lancaster and District area (over 576 km2) and those sleeping on the streets. We provide essential needs for rough sleepers and provide direct assistance with: health services (mental and physical); benefits; housing needs; drug & alcohol treatment; employment; and access to identification documents.

The majority of our clients have complex needs, usually the result of distressing experiences; our most requested forms of support care are “emotional support” and “housing advice”. Our floating support work is a long-term solution, prioritising the most vulnerable, supporting them on a journey of recovery. Research, and our own experience, shows that homeless people face problems far beyond the lack of a safe and suitable home; many face social disadvantages with reduced access to both private and public services (including health and dental care, education, and banking facilities). Additionally, our clients are at an increased risk of suffering violence and abuse, face general rejection and discrimination, and are seen as unsuitable for employment.

As well as practical support, we are here to listen when nobody else will. We offer a helping hand to people who might be facing difficult times in their lives and strive to help them gain independence once again.

The LDHAS has a history of responding quickly and effectively to changes in the third sector, homeless and impoverished demographics, and the wider socio-economic environment; our expertise, coupled with those of our partner agencies, ensure the optimum support is provided and replicable throughout the voluntary and social care sector. However, your support is essential in keeping our organisation running; they need us but we need you.

Our Community Programme allows us to employ poets to work with vulnerable groups in Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

We work with the NHS, Women's Shelters, Probation Service, Youth Groups, Young Carers, Herefordshire Mind, residential care settings for the elderly, disabled and people with learning disabilities, and many other organisations to help vulnerable people express themselves through poetry. The School's programme enables us to put poets into schools to encourage the children to develop a love of poetry from an early age, and to make poetry fun and exciting so they continue that love of reading and writing throughout their lives.

We run ‘Festival in a Day' workshops to enable primary school children to write their own work and to perform in a showcase event at the end of the day. The July Festival puts on a number of free events and street events which allow families from all income brackets to get involved with events which otherwise would not be accessible to them. We also strive to keep our ticket process as low as possible to allow as many people as possible to be able to attend our diverse range of events. Our New Writers programme helps Emerging writers get established.

Lincolnshire IA is affiliated to the national IA The Ileostomy and Internal Pouch Association which is a mutual support group which has the primary aim of helping people who have had or are about to have their colon removed.

It was started in 1956 by a group of people who had ileostomies themselves, together with some members of the medical profession. It was the first ostomy association in the United Kingdom and it is a national charity (1172338)

What are IA’s Aims?
1) to help anyone who has had, or is about to have, their colon removed to return to a fully active and normal life as soon as possible.
2) to help them with all aspects of their rehabilitation including social activities, and relationships with their families, friends, employers, colleagues and members of the general public.
3) to work in close co-operation with the medical authorities as part of a team whose primary aim is the complete rehabilitation of every ileostomy or pouch patient.
4) to promote and co-ordinate research – not only into ways of improving the quality of life with an ileostomy or pouch, but also into the illnesses which lead to these operations.
5) to improve knowledge about the management of ileostomies or pouches and encourage development of new ostomy equipment and skin-care preparation.

The Lock 16 Lottery is a new community lottery for Camelon, Bantaskin and Tamfourhill. If you're local to the area, or from elsewhere, and would like to see the area improve and the community helped to live a little better, this is a lovely way to invest in the community as well as with cash prizes for just £1 per week.

The money raised from lottery ticket sales will go into a community fund held by the Camelon, Bantaskin and Tamfourhill community council and local residents will select who and what will benefit via voting and other selection methods, to be tried out as we go forward.

Over the first two years, until the funds build up, a proportion of the lottery cash will be donated to primary schools and the nursery for what they need, whether for indiviual children or projects like sports and play equipment. It will be up to the schools to choose.

Once there's enough of a fund to spread around, the community council will distribute the fund once the cause or projects have been chosen, whether that be a community group, community centre, project or initiative.

Like other community councils, we could build a wind turbine or join an energy club to reduce people's bills, put on festivals and events like Mariners Day, sponsor talent in sports or arts like the pre-Covid schools football festival at the Juniors or contribute to building and running community facilities of which this area has too few. If enough people play, we can make large and small scale things happen for the better.

Tickets costs £1 per week and a 50% of the total lottery proceeds go to supporting the work carried out by Camelon, Bantaskin and Tamfourhill Community Council, 18.4% on prizes and 31.6% on expenses and administration of the lottery.

Prizes start at £5 and go up to a £25,000 jackpot. There is a 1:63 chance of winning any prize.

Players need to be over 18 years old. Weekly winners will be published on the community council's Facebook page.

Omega is a registered charity dedicated to reducing social isolation and loneliness.

We offer Chatterbox, a free telephone befriending service and Letterbox, a free penpal befriending service.

Although Omega was founded as a specialist end of life care charity in 2007, our work has gradually refocused over the years, to reflect the needs of our clients. We discovered that while not all of them are dealing with end of life issues, the one thing that unites them is a daily struggle with feelings of isolation and loneliness.

We now offer our services to anyone aged 18 or over, living in the UK.

Omega is run from a small head office in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, but our services are open to clients throughout the UK. Our work is made possible by an ever-growing team of generous and varied volunteers.

Since 2012 Our Mickleover have been organising events that bring Mickleover together and raise funds for some great charities - from the annual summer fete and Christmas Festivals to the one-off specials like the Giant Waterslide and Firewalking spectaculars.

Supporting our lottery allows us to provide the summer and winter flower displays across the village as well as the Christmas Lights display which just keeps getting better year by year.

We also were able to support vulnerable people through the Covid lockdowns with food parcels, shopping and by providing laptops and tablets to local schools so that all pupils could access online learning. We are now continuing to support residents through our support of the Derby Food4Thought Alliance.

The Portsmouth Guildhall has been central to community life in Portsmouth for over 125 years. In addition to providing a wide range of concerts and shows we also provide a number of community events, workshops and classes that are either free or at a greatly reduced price.

Your generosity and support is vital in helping this continue. Quite simply, we couldn't do it without you.

Romford Town Swimming Club has been providing a swim school in the London Borough of Havering and surrounding communities since its inauguration on the 16th of September 1900. We take pride in our family atmosphere and remain dedicated to providing the highest level of coaching from Learn to Swim right through to international competitive swimmers.

Romford Town is one of the most successful clubs in Essex, being Essex age group Trophy winners many times in recent years, and also having a number of swimmers selected to be on regional and National development programmes

Romford Town Swimming Club achieved Swim 21 accreditation in Skill Development (Silver Award) and Sport England Clubmark recognition. Swim 21 is the Amateur Swimming association/British Swimming’s nationally recognised Club Development Programme, centred on the needs of swimmers. Romford Town was the first swimming club in Havering to be given the Swim 21 and Sport England Awards.

All of the above help to create a strong, yet friendly environment for competitive swimmers to thrive in. along the way we endeavour to build and develop swimmers’ techniques, whilst enhancing life and teamwork skills along the way.

The Club is affiliated to the London Region Amateur swimming Association and the Essex Amatuer Swimming Association.

Save Royton's Greenbelt Community Group was formed in 2016 when the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework first proposed removing large swathes of Royton's green spaces from the Greenbelt protection it had enjoyed for many years, to build thousands of houses on. The GMSF itself states that 'the existing supply of potential housing site identified in the districts' strategic housing land availability assessments, small sites and empty properties is adequate to meet the overall identified need.'

We believe that the councils of Greater Manchester are preferring to use Greenbelt sites as they can achieve better returns from developers who can build more expensive housing in these natural areasof beauty.

Back on 2nd January 2017 we organised a protest/awareness walk to Tandle Hills, at which 3,000 people attended, all opposed to the destruction of our local Greenbelt. This action led to the release of the revised GMSF in 2019 which saw some reduction in proposed Greenbelt development, but still left us facing the prospect of thousands of houses being built on our Greenbelt.

Despite many thousands of written objections to Greater Manchester Combined Authority's plans to remove the Greenbelt, they are continuing to try to push their proposal through. Our best chance now is to put forward a legal challenge to appeal to the Planning Inspectorate. This is an expensive fight, but we are confident that we can defeat them and have already raised thousands of pounds, thanks to the generosity of our many local supporters. 

We urge you to get involved and support our lottery to help us pay for planning advice and legal action.

The aim of the lottery is to create an additional source of funding that will enable community led organisations to undertake innovative projects that matter to them and that makes a difference in the community that they serve.

Their funding may fall short or may not fit within existing funding criteria. In doing so we seeks to broaden the range of opportunities communities have to take control of the quality of their lives and make decisions that broaden their horizons.

Young people who experience homelessness are more likely to experience it later in life too. Our purpose is to break this cycle.

We work with our national network of Youth Foyers to provide transformative opportunities to young people who can’t live at home.

We will be able to continue to help our local community thrive and grow their own solutions to the multiple problems they encounter, such as unemployment, health inequalities and mental ill-health.

For more than 600 years, The Old Rectory has been at the centre of life in Houghton-Le-Spring.

In 1949, the gardens surrounding the building became a public park after being gifted to the people of Houghton.

Since 2017, the Acumen Community Buildings charity has maintained the building - providing a space for community groups and social entrepreneurs to work together to create a vibrant hub and co-working space.

The idea is to give the people of Dumfries an opportunity to invest directly in a scheme to improve the quality of life within the town – and the region.

We've seen huge sums of money raised for the Alexandra Unit over the years, - and of-course, undeniably, - the unit is a superb facility. However, - given the constraints placed upon the council with regards to budgets, - plus the present credit crunch, there appears to be little opportunity for investment from either the private or public sector.

Rather than waiting for the private investor to suddenly appear, - like a genie out of a bottle, - could we not all contribute, - in lots of little ways, - providing investment capital for the schemes we all want for the area?

We believe in a Wales where people stand together to provide hope, support and solutions to end homelessness.

One entry into the lottery could provide a meal for someone where this may be their only guaranteed meal that that day.

2. Keeping people off the streets
Our accommodation and support consists of direct access hostels, emergency night shelters and accommodation for people with specific issues such as substance misuse or mental health issues.

Three Rivers Community Partnership & RiversMeet
A rewarding way to support to support your local community and its community owned facilities

The money raised through the Unity Lottery is distributed by the Three Rivers Community Partnership to assist good causes in Gillingham and surrounding parishes and to enhance the facilities in RiversMeet, the Leisure and Community Centre owned and run by the Community Partnership.

£40,000 has been raised since 2009. More than 30 local clubs and organisations have received a total of £10000 of this and £4000 is in hand to help others. £25000 has been set aside to improve the community facilities provided by RiversMeet.

Grants have enabled support to be given to the setting up of clubs and activities including the Town Meadow Group, Walkers are Welcome and the annual Walking Festival, the Gillingham Youth Club, the Job Club, the Easy Read Project, Dementia Friendly Gillingham, and the Gillingham Litter Pickers. Town gatherings such as the Jubilee Party on the Rec and the Great Get Together on the Meadow have been helped. Other beneficiaries include GANG (the Gillingham Action for Nature Group), the Swim School, the facilities at Hardings Park, the re-fitting of the North Dorset Disability shop (NorDDIS) and equipment for the Dorset Marshalls to use when ensuring safety in parades and festivals. Neighbouring village projects have been helped in East Stour and Buckhorn Weston. In 2018 funding was provided to 4 toddlers groups. In 2019 Coffee Companions took on loneliness. In 2020 the most recent group to be set up and receive a grant is Greener Gillingham who have been assigned £500 to deliver their ambitions for a repair café and recycling centre.
