Support Our Friends of TheGivingMachine Lottery
At TheGivingMachine, we believe in the power of community. Every day, we see how small acts of kindness add up to make a huge difference. That’s why we’re excited to invite you to take part in the Friends of TheGivingMachine Lottery – a fun way to support our work and have the chance to win up to £25,000!
When you buy a lottery ticket to support us, you’re not just entering for a chance to win fantastic cash prizes. You’re directly supporting our Community Grants programme, which provides vital funding to schools, charities, and community groups across the UK. These grants help local heroes carry out projects that improve lives, strengthen communities, and bring people together.
Here’s how it works:
-
Visit the GivingLottery to play.
-
Tickets cost just £1 per week.
-
Each ticket has a 1 in 50 chance to win a prize.
-
60% of every ticket you buy supports good causes.
-
Funds from our Friends of TheGivingMachine’s lottery will direct impact our Community Grants programme.
That means every ticket really does make a difference – for you and for the communities we serve.
Why support us through the lottery?
By joining our lottery, you’ll be:
-
Helping small charities and community organisations thrive.
-
Giving local groups the boost they need to run life-changing projects.
-
Standing alongside us as a Friend of TheGivingMachine – part of a growing movement of people who believe in giving back while having fun.
- Making a difference!
We are currently on track to raise £4,680 from our lottery this year. We have a target of raising £8,000 - this will fund the Community Grants we give away each year and for this we need your help.

Stories from causes who received a Community Grant
Testimonial from a GivingLottery jackpot winner
"I selected My Shining Star as it is a local charity very close to my heart. I think this was only the 2nd or 3rd week of me doing the lottery as the charity has only recently signed up to it. I play because during the pandemic they lost a lot of their normal sponsorship methods so this was a way I could support them.
I would 100% recommend others sign up, it’s £1 a week with the chance of winning £25,000, easy to sign up and you are helping a local charity at the same time. I was in total shock at winning and never thought it could happen to me but it has for just £1 a week."
