New community lottery scheme to support local charities in South and East Lincolnshire

Councillor Martin Griggs, Boston Borough Council portfolio holder for Housing and Communities, Councillor Graham Marsh, East Lindsey District Council deputy leader and portfolio holder for Partnerships and Councillor Gary Taylor, South Holland District Council portfolio holder for communities and facilities, welcomed the new scheme: “It is fantastic for us to be able to fulfil this long-term ambition to create this new lottery scheme in South and East Lincolnshire, where both the proceeds and winnings will go directly to our local causes and residents, having a real impact to the daily lives of our residents.

“There are so many incredible community groups, charities and organisations in our local area, and it will be exciting to see the difference this scheme and its players can make to help and support their causes.”

David Fannin, Chief Executive of Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Service said: “This new initiative by the South & East Councils Partnership is a really exciting move for the area, and the net proceeds will bring vitally needed funding to an array of local causes, charities and community groups when the lottery gets underway later this year. Lincolnshire CVS will help to ensure that this goes to where it is most needed and can do the most good.”

More information will be announced over the next few months, so please keep up to date on the Partnership’s social media channels: BBC Facebook page, ELDC Facebook page and SHDC Facebook page.
