The Health Lottery Foundation – supporting Britain’s health and wellbeing

Three older people play bingo in a community centre. They are happy.

In 2025 The Health Lottery Foundation will be inviting applications to improve the health and wellbeing of people in Britain under 6 themes. We can’t wait to hear more about the work you’re doing.

Our role is to distribute money raised by people playing The Health Lottery

When people pay to play The Health Lottery games, a minimum of 20% of every lottery draw ticket and online scratch card purchased goes towards good causes.

From 23 January 2025, The Health Lottery will operate on behalf of The Health Lottery Foundation. We are responsible for making sure that the money flows into communities in a way that makes a real difference to people’s lives. Understanding the areas that most need our support

In the early part of 2025, our team will be getting to know what type of projects across England, Scotland and Wales most need help. We understand that many organisations are doing crucial work. We know that leaders are working relentlessly to complete grants and access the funds needed to most make a difference.

Making our application process as straightforward as possible

Our grant application process will be as pain free as possible. This is because we know that applying for funding takes time and many community groups have multiple priorities that they are facing.

Soon we will share when our funding window opens, please sign up for alerts

All our updates will be shared through email and social media. If you’d like to keep in the loop please sign up for our mailing list.

We can’t wait to find out more about the vital work going on across Britain.
