The Government is proud of the role of National Lottery funding, and it has generated over £53 billion for Good Causes across every postcode of the UK. That money has done remarkable things, with funding supporting people across the country to improve their communities and the lives of their neighbours.
The Government is promoting the positive impact of National Lottery Good Causes throughout the Government’s ongoing Call for Evidence on Good Causes Funding, through case studies, content on social media, and with the support of key partners. Allwyn, the current National Lottery operator, has also promoted the Call for Evidence through their own channels, highlighting the positive impact of Good Cause funding in communities across the UK, including directly with retailers.
The Call for Evidence is an opportunity to understand the extent to which the general public and organisations are aware of good cause funding in their local area and nationally, and how we can better explain the impact of that funding to the public and to players.
Following closure of the Call for Evidence on 23 September 2026, the Government will analyse all evidence, and respond in due course.

That this House acknowledges the role played by Britain’s charity lottery sector in providing over £450 million in vital funds for good causes each year at no cost to the Government; recognises the unique nature of charity lottery fundraising, which is centred on long-term, unrestricted giving; further acknowledges such a model complements the overwhelmingly project-based funding offer from the National Lottery’s distribution bodies; notes that despite their low risk, charitable nature, such lotteries are the only gambling or fundraising product subject to such restrictions, which places constraints on their fundraising not faced by the much larger National Lottery and unregulated prize draws; understands that analysis by both the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and by Britain’s biggest charity lottery fundraiser, Postcode Lottery, projects that reforming monetary limits for charity lotteries would generate around £150 million in additional funding for supported charities; and urges the Government to re-establish the cross-party consensus around charity lottery reform by announcing measures to help charity lotteries raise even more for good causes across Britain.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with the National Lottery on the potential merits of uplifting lottery grants that fund improvements to (a) churches and (b) historic buildings.
National Lottery funding for churches and historic buildings is primarily given via the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF). NLHF’s decision-making on grant funding is independent from DCMS.
The Department is working closely with funders in the sector to ensure that opportunities for funding places of worship throughout the UK are maximised. The NLHF already offers grants for places of worship across all the UK and is currently investing £100m over 3 years through National Lottery Heritage Grants and a strategic initiative designed to provide targeted support to build capacity.
On 1 July the UK Government launched a major call for evidence on lottery good causes funding, seeking views from people, organisations and communities across the country on future funding. This is currently live on GOV.UK and will close on 23 September 2026.

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by the Minister of State for Culture, Media and Sport on 4 February (HC107383), what was the business case for the granting of funds to Decolonise Fest by Arts Council England; and whether the National Lottery has provided any additional funding.

Decisions regarding funding awards are made by Arts Council England independently of the government; therefore, the Arts Council is the appropriate body to provide any additional details. All funding decisions are made in line with clear criteria and we support an approach that encourages a range of applicants.
In May 2026 the Arts Council awarded Decolonise Fest £20,000 for their 2026 event. The Noble Lord may also wish to contact the National Lottery or Decolonise Fest to request details from them directly.
