Review of Lottery Funding
It is eight years since the Lottery started. Tessa Jowell announced a review in 2002 to look at how we can enhance and develop the its future and make Lottery funding more responsive to the needs and priorities of communities.
DCMS published a consultation paper on Lottery distribution policy on 29 July 2002 and we received well over 400 substantive responses from a wide range of people including local authorities, charities, voluntary groups, individual members of the public and Lottery distributors.
In addition to the consultation paper, we commissioned Opinion Leader Research to undertake qualitative research with a cross section of Lottery players in two citizens' workshops during December 2002. The summary of the top line findings can be found by accessing the link below.
We intend to develop specific proposals for change, to be published in early summer 2003.
