The Bugbrooke Community Lottery has unfortunately been affected by restrictions on processing of payments for ‘gambling’. As we are legally a Small Society Lottery our monthly subscriptions are classed as gambling payments.
This has meant we are unable to continue using our current automated payments system and it is proving more difficult than we hoped to find an alternative provider that is both suitable and affordable for such a small organisation.
We sadly have no option but to suspend future BCL monthly draws until an alternative way of accepting automated payments has been identified and tested. No payments have been taken for the September draw.
The money raised for good causes through the lottery remains available to provide grants to organisations and individuals in Bugbrooke and we would welcome grant applications.
Thank you so much for supporting BCL and we very much hope that you will stick with us through this setback. We will be in touch as soon as possible.
Bugbrooke Community Lottery. Be in it to win it while also raising money for the Bugbrooke Community.
Our Story:
How we got here
After watching the film Pay it forward, Chris Carter came up with the idea that our community, could use a similar philosophy. We could work together and help each other. She found four other likeminded people and the Bugbrooke Community Lottery was formed.
Join, win and raise money!
The Idea
The Bugbrooke Community Lottery is non-profit making. It is formed purely to raise money to support the people of Bugbrooke and good causes running in the village.
A lottery draw will be held each month. The aim is to give 50% of all lottery chances to win sold in that month in three monetary prizes. The remaining 50% of the lottery income will be returned to the community over the year after minimal running costs are deducted.
By simply participating in your local lottery, you will be helping the Bugbrooke community - and you could be a winner too!
Why Support us
In supporting the lottery you are helping others in our community. With us raising funds to allow contributions to be made for:
* Education grants to help students.
* Carer’s that may need support
* Individuals or families suffering hardship
* End of life dreams
* Any non-profit local organisation can also apply for a grant to support or expand their activities.
This website offers a page where you can apply for a grant, for yourself or anyone else you think worthy. You can also nominate a villager who has benefited the village, or shown real kindness, for a ‘thank you’ award. An independent panel reviews all grant applications to ensure your contributions really do make a difference to those who need it the most.
Caring is at the heart of this fund.
