Dame Caroline Dinenage, Member of Parliament for Gosport, will take part in a virtual funding workshop, with People’s Postcode Lottery, for local charities, volunteer organisations, and community groups in the area.
The session will give good causes from across Gosport, Lee on Solent, Stubbington, and Hill Head advice on how they can apply for funds to make a difference in their community.
The live Zoom event takes place on 8th October at 4pm.
Communities in postcodes across Britain are winning thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Last year, players of People’s Postcode Lottery raised over £208 million for good causes and are now raising over £18 million a month for over 17,000 charities, covering every constituency in the country.
In 2024, grassroots good causes once again have the opportunity to apply for funding.
Over £57,886 raised by People’s Postcode Lottery players has already made a difference to many small, local good causes in Gosport.
Commenting on the benefit of the workshop Caroline said:
“Funding from the players of People’s Postcode Lottery makes a huge difference to thousands of good causes across the country.
“I know that there are many local charities or good causes in Gosport that would love a funding boost and I would encourage them to come along to the funding workshop to see what support is available.
“I am grateful to People’s Postcode Lottery for their continued support and hope that many charities and community groups are able to attend the event.”
Head of Public Affairs at People’s Postcode Lottery, Malcolm Fleming, added:
“The money raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery is making a huge difference in communities across the country.
“We want to do all we can to help local charities and good causes successfully apply – particularly at a time when many are losing out on essential funds.
“Our free virtual workshop is a useful opportunity for smaller, local charities and groups to find out about the funding available, get pointers on applying and ask us any questions.”
More than £1.4 billion has been raised for thousands of charities and good causes, thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
