This is an amazing opportunity to use incentivised giving with the Lottery. There are no upfront costs, no need to worry about the lottery admin or licensing - we take care of all of that and more, so you don't have to.

Most local causes can fundraise with us, from schools/PTAs, village halls, animal welfare, any sports and recreational clubs/groups, health and wellbeing, country parks, Scouts/Guides, and many many more - all are welcome, basically, you just need to be a local not for profit group or charity.
 
There really are no upfront costs and it’s really quick and easy to register to fundraise through our local lottery. Once your good cause has been approved you’ll get:

• Fantastic prize structure with chances to WIN up to £25,000 weekly
• An exciting, additional, monthly Super Draw!
• The ability to ask your supporters to ‘give’ with a chance to win
• An ongoing variety of seasonal marketing materials (yes, all free!)
• Your own public Good Cause webpage and private dashboard on the lottery website
• Regular monthly payments

So what's the story?

You just need to tell people to buy tickets to support your cause through your lottery page. It is that simple - Plus, you will have access to a whole suite of tools and support to help you do this easily!

It’s a weekly draw, tickets are £1 each and most supporters play by monthly direct debit from as little as *£4.34 a month (*1 ticket a week paid monthly). 

Selling just 50 lottery tickets a week will see you raise £1,300 a year, not to mention any donations you could get from lucky winners! Most supporters buy more than one ticket and support for around two years. So, 50 tickets doesn't necessarily mean 50 supporters. There is no limit to how many people can buy tickets to support your charity either, so the sky really is the limit!

We know this can seem too good to be true so we have broken down the £1 lottery ticket for absolute transparency as follows:

• 50% goes to you, paid every month
• 10% goes to Welwyn Hatfield Community Fund, used to further fund good causes in Welwyn Hatfield
• 20% goes to the prize pot
• 20% goes to the VAT, administration, and running costs of the lottery

Any local not-for-profit or charity organisation can apply subject to the terms and conditions. There is no catch, use One Welwyn Hatfield Community Lottery to raise unlimited, unrestricted, year-round funds for your cause.

Cllr Max Holloway, Executive Member for Community and Leisure, said:

"The money raised by One Welwyn Hatfield Lottery is going to make a lot of difference to good causes across the borough. We'd encourage all charities and community groups to join the Good Cause Launch Event and start fundraising with our lottery. It’s easy and free!”

Act now to start fundraising with us in time for the 1st draw on the 14th of October. We can wait to help all local good causes to make Welwyn Hatfield an even better place to live!
