The National Lottery raises over £30 million for good causes every week. They're the largest cumulative funder of our work since 1994, providing over £150 million for our projects and making a huge impact on our ambitions and funding vital work. Players have allowed us to care for historic buildings and objects, maintain rivers and coastline and look after wildlife-rich environments. We'd like to extend our thanks to every player who takes part in the National Lottery, and we look forward to welcoming you during Open Week at one of the places we look after.
