ABOUT US

The Health Lottery was founded with a very specific aim – to use funds raised from people playing our games for health-related causes in Great Britain. We believe everyone has a right to health and happiness, and we will help those who need support to get a fairer share and improve their wellbeing.

The Health Lottery operates on behalf of The Health Lottery Foundation, raising money to support the health and welfare of people throughout Great Britain, including children and young people and those with mental or physical disabilities.

Grants are awarded on a project-by-project basis, and these make a huge difference at the local level. If you would like to know more about specific the grant-making process, please visit The Health Lottery Foundation HERE.

OUR MISSION

Funds raised through playing The Health Lottery support the health and welfare of people throughout Great Britain, including children and young people and those with mental or physical disabilities.

HEALTH INEQUITY

Men and women living in neighbourhoods experiencing the highest levels of disadvantage in Scotland spend, on average, nearly 23 fewer years in good health than those in the most affluent areas. Men in the most disadvantaged areas will die 13 years younger.

NINE YEARS' DIFFERENCE

In England and Wales, people living in neighbourhoods experiencing the highest levels of disadvantage will, on average, die nine years younger than people living in the wealthiest neighbourhoods.
