The Lewes District Local Lottery has awarded over £7,000 to support local good causes.
Beneficiaries include Pippa’s Group, a nursery that champions learning through play and exploration, and Lotus Families, a women-focused charity working to prevent violence against women and girls.
They offer trauma-informed services, including one-to-one and group support, with a focus on early intervention and empowerment to help women in their recovery.
Another beneficiary is the Seaford Down's Syndrome and Special Needs Support Group, a charity that enriches the lives of children with special needs and their families. They provide regular activities such as swimming and music classes, as well as essential training and guidance for parents.
Since its launch, the Lewes District Local Lottery has raised more than £102,000 for local causes.
Councillor Johnny Denis, Cabinet Member for Arts, Culture, Tourism & Leisure, said: "The Lewes District Local Lottery continues to be a fantastic way for residents to support their community while having a chance to win prizes. It's great to see money raised through the Community Fund making a tangible difference, providing support to excellent local organisations for the benefit of people across Lewes district."
