Trusted by local authorities
Gatherwell is the UK’s only lottery provider dedicated to local authorities. Over 80 councils trust us to run their community lotteries. Together we’re raising £4.5 million a year for grassroots community groups and good causes.
Easy, effective and ethical
We understand the importance of keeping costs down, that why it’s free and easy for community groups to join your lottery and start raising money. A massive 60p in the £1 goes directly to local good causes and the council, almost double the amount of other national lottery providers.
You’re in control
Our lotteries are built to give the council oversight and control of which charities and good causes can benefit from ticket proceeds. You can also establish a central fund to distribute however you wish.
Your School Lottery
We created Your School Lottery to help UK schools raise money through their local communities. We’ve now helped over 1300 schools to start a fundraising lottery, improving educational facilities for their children.
A new way of engaging parents
Your School Lottery provides parents with the opportunity to feel connected not only to the improvement of their child’s education, but also the facilities in the school.
Cost-free
The school doesn’t pay to get set up and doesn’t pay to run it either. The entire service we provide is totally free for schools. A licence is usually required by your local authority and only costs a one-off fee of £40.
Lottery support
From the licensing forms to onboarding good causes, we work alongside you to make the process of starting a fundraising lottery as easy and quick as possible.
Intelligent customer management
You gain access to a simple and easy to use dashboard that gives you clarity on who your supporters are.
Maximising donations
One of our core values is being an ethical lottery provider. We give 35% more in donations directly to good causes than any other national lottery.
Bespoke

As industry leaders we have developed quick and easy processes for organisations of all sizes.
We pride ourselves on being ethical, easy and engaging.
One source of truth
We have created an easy to use, intuitive dashboard which allows local authorities to approve and create causes with the click of a button, while also tracking and managing your lottery in real time.
Ethical and transparent
We understand the importance of keeping costs down, that is why we have complete clarity on our costs and make sure that all donations from supporters go where they’re supposed to – the good causes!
Social media integrations
We set up your lottery across various social media channels and have built in integrations which allow news to be shared with supporters at any time.

With our budgets under increasing pressure from central government cuts, and local good causes also needing a boost, the Powys Lotto provides a great opportunity to help local good causes to raise additional money. Powys County Council are continuing our support to local community groups, but this will be a way of spreading the benefit to many more groups.
The response to BH Coastal Lottery in Bournemouth has exceeded all expectations. The forecast is to raise £115,096.00 in its first year. Gatherwell, and the huge amount of advice and support, have made the process simple.
We are a small charity that relies on the support of local people and the lottery is giving us a way to raise much needed funds. We currently have 56 tickets a week, and are on our way to our target of 100 tickets a week which would bring in £2,600 per year.
I am absolutely delighted at the success of the Robin Hood Lottery. The take up of good causes and players has been very high and we are so pleased to be able to channel funding back to local charities, groups and organisations.
