A look at the impacts of 15 year’s of Lottery funding for ‘good causes’ including arts and culture

This report presents research into the impact Lottery funding of good causes – including arts and culture projects – has had in the 15 years since it was established. It covers such regeneration, the economy, natural environment, employment and enterprise, visitor activities, stronger communities, health and well-being. It concludes “strip away all the projects that National Lottery money has made possible over the last decade and a half, and Britain would be a sadder, poorer and greyer place.” Research shows the breakdown of how the money was distributed, size of grants, and includes several case studies that demonstrate the impacts.
