Winning In The Community
13 August 2021
In a survey conducted in October 2020 84% of good causes said that COVID-19 was having a negative impact on their fundraising with 55% stating that, apart from their lottery, they had been unable to continue ANY form of fundraising. 97% of good causes expected the pandemic to have an impact on their fundraising for at least the next 6 months and 78% of good causes said that their lottery helped keep funds coming in during the pandemic.
