The Jackpot Community Trust are supporting great charities across the UK

We're an independent grant-making charity that distributes funding generated through our society lotteries - The Scotto, What a Lotto and Scottish Children’s Lottery.

Through ticket sales, players help raise vital funds that are reinvested directly into communities.

The Trust awards grants to charitable organisations working across our key areas of impact: Children & Young People, Health & Wellbeing, Vulnerable People & Communities and Animal Welfare.

We support projects that make a measurable difference, from improving life chances and strengthening communities to protecting vulnerable people and animals. Our funding helps organisations deliver practical services, early intervention and long-term support where it is needed most.

Committed to transparency, fairness and social impact, the Jackpot Community Trust works to ensure that lottery players can see the positive difference their participation makes.

By connecting community fundraising with grassroots action, we help turn everyday play into meaningful change.
