Supporting Local Communities

The Sefton Community Lottery provides a simple, sustainable way for local organisations to raise unrestricted funds, helping them continue vital work that supports residents, strengthens communities and delivers essential services across the borough. 

Angela White, Chief Executive of Sefton CVS commented: “Voluntary, community and faith organisations are at the heart of our communities. Every day, they deliver vital support, bring people together and make a real difference to residents’ lives locally across Sefton.

"The Sefton Community Lottery is a fantastic way for residents to show their support. By simply buying a ticket, they are directly helping local good causes to continue and grow their work.

"We encourage everyone to get involved and support the organisations that matter most to them.”

It could be you

Councillor Liz Dowd, Sefton Council's Cabinet Member for Communities and Partnership Engagement, said: “The Sefton Community Lottery is a great way for people to support projects that benefit local people and neighbourhoods, while at the same time being in with a chance of winning a major cash prize of up to £25k, or tickets to some of the exciting events coming up in Sefton this summer.

“It’s just £1 per week per ticket and there’s a 1 in 50 chance of winning, which is better odds than the National Lottery. It could be you but it’s definitely Sefton.”
