Have your say on the future of National Lottery funding

Lottery call to action

The Government’s Call for Evidence on the future of National Lottery funding remains open, and people across the sport and physical activity sector are being encouraged to share their views.

The consultation aims to gather feedback on how National Lottery funding can continue to deliver the greatest possible benefit to communities across the country. It seeks views on:

  • How funding reaches good causes
  • How funding empowers local communities
  • How funding can be made easier to access

Whether you are a volunteer, coach, club leader, participant, partner organisation, or someone whose life has been positively impacted by National Lottery funding, this is an opportunity to help shape its future.

Sport England is encouraging as many people as possible to take part, including partners, funded organisations, volunteers, clubs and participants, ensuring that a wide range of voices from across the sport and physical activity sector are represented.

Responses will help inform future decisions about how National Lottery funding supports communities and creates opportunities for people to be active.

Respond to Call for Evidence

Please also help spread the word by sharing the Call for Evidence with your own networks so that as many voices as possible can help shape the future of National Lottery funding.
