Tandridge District Council’s Resources Committee has agreed to setting up a lottery.
This will create a sustainable source of funding for local voluntary and community groups and could reduce pressure on the Council’s grants budget. The lottery would operate online with tickets costing £1. There would be a weekly draw and a top prize of £25,000.
Local charities and groups could apply to join the lottery and would keep 50% of the ticket price of any tickets bought through them, with the rest going to prizes, costs and into the grants fund.
