About Health Lottery North West
Health Lottery North West is licensed by the Gambling Commission to promote its own lottery, which it does through The Heath Lottery. Its objective is to ensure that the individual communities receive their good causes money to enable them to address health related issues within their local area.
The Health Lottery Scheme manages 12 individual lotteries that operate in rotation and each represents a different geographical region of Great Britain. They raise money for health-related good causes within each of their individual community areas. Each of the regional lotteries are trading names which are licenced by one of 6 society lottery licences. In the case of North West, it is YNW Health CIC.
The grant-making process is determined by local need and requirement and, through the 12 Regional Lotteries, every region in Great Britain will benefit. These lotteries are operated under a single brand, The Health Lottery, but each ticket will have one of the society licence names on that reflect which area of Great Britain that particular months draw is raising funds for. A list of which regional area within the society the funds are being raised for is listed on the website or on the licence in retailers. Information on this can also be obtained from The Health Lottery website, via its helpline 0844 375 5555 and from Health Lottery retailers where you can buy tickets. Calls to The Health Lottery will be charged at 5p per minute from a BT landline. Charges from other service providers will vary.
The Regional Lotteries have a very specific focus on providing funding where there are health inequalities which are currently not being met by other financial sources. Alongside our partner registered charity, People's Health Trust, we have a very robust process in place which ensures the right organisations get the money.
To ensure that grants do help reduce health inequalities the activities are regulated by the Charity Commission (and by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator) and by the Office of the Regulator of Community Interest Companies. Grants are sometimes made in instalments to ensure all money is being used for the intended purpose. People's Health Trust has follow-up processes to monitor the progress of projects given grants and evaluate the results.
