New West Lindsey community lottery launched

Coun Owen Bierley, chairman of the prosperous communities committee said: “Community groups often do not have the means to access a range of funding opportunities, the lottery will give them the means to publicise themselves better, reach a wider audience and hopefully gain more support.”

Ticket sales had originally been planned to start in May, but were delayed due to Covid-19. The first draw will now be on October 17, with tickets being available to purchase from September 1.
