 New Delhi: A couple of weeks ago we brought you news that a Scottish minister had asked for lottery funding for the 2014 Commonwealth games to be held in the country. It’s just been announced that the Lottery will help the Commonwealth games with funding from the Big Lottery Fund, part of the National Lottery fundraising division to help fund a Scottish projects for sports and wellbeing in time for the Commonwealth games. It’s a big windfall for the Sports and Community group in the shape of a Commonwealth Games lotto grant as it was announced today that the first round of funding for West Scotland will be paid for the 2014 communities programme. Over 78 community organisations and projects across Scotland will benefit from the grant which will be spread amongst the Scottish projects for Sport, Healthy eating and just generally maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The National Lottery award, the first of several, totals over £70,000 from the Big Lottery Fund and will promote participation in sport and volunteering in time for the 2014 Commonwealth games. This is just one of the ways that National Lottery cash helps charities and local projects across the UK and it’s great knowing that when you purchase your National Lottery tickets you are helping good causes and voluntary organisations. Millions is given away every year in Lottery grants and the chances are that wherever you are in the UK a lottery grant will have helped an organisation in your area. So keep buying those tickets, because you’re not only giving yourself a chance to get rich but you’re also helping good causes and charities too.
