National Lottery Act


Key Benefits

Revitalise the distribution of Lottery money by making it more strategic, streamlined, quick and responsive to people's priorities.

Set up the Big Lottery Fund as a single body with a new good cause and single set of simpler rules, to make it easier for potential applicants to access Lottery money.

The Big Lottery Fund will replace three existing distributors and the resulting efficiency savings will be available as additional Lottery funding for good causes.

Allows increased public involvement in the Lottery by giving distributors powers to consult and take account of public views in making distribution decisions.

Ensure the licensing and regulation of the Lottery continues to maximise the returns for good causes.
