About Reading Community Lottery Central Fund:

During the coronavirus outbreak, the Reading Community Lottery Central Fund will be used to support the community response. It will go to organisations helping the most vulnerable in our town with the delivery of food, supplies and prescriptions, and telephone befriending.

Reading Community Lottery is a weekly lottery that directly supports local good causes and community initiatives.

Lotteries are a fun and effective way for causes to raise much-needed funds in these difficult times. By getting more people on board, they don’t just raise funds, they also raise awareness.

When you play the Reading Community Lottery you know that 60% of your ticket price goes to good causes (more than DOUBLE what the National Lottery gives) AND the money raised is going to good causes that benefit your local community.

Proceeds generated from this page go into a general good cause fund, administered by Reading Voluntary Action, which will be spent on providing vital support to a wide range of local organisations and community initiatives which have a beneficial impact on the local community.

You can find out how Reading Voluntary Action allocate grants to local good causes via their website:
