By playing the National Lottery, you're helping people across England play sport and get physically active. That's because two-thirds of our funding comes from the lottery. Thank you to everyone who has ever bought a ticket for supporting us in building a healthier, happier nation.
Digital Marketing Hub
A free hub has been created to help people, clubs and organisations use digital marketing tools and techniques to encourage more people to play sport and be physically active.
