<p>The operation of the National Lottery and the distribution of good cause income
are two separate processes. As the current operator of the National Lottery, Camelot
UK Lotteries Limited has no influence over the distribution of National Lottery good
cause income.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>All good cause income generated through
National Lottery sales is placed into the National Lottery Distribution Fund which
is distributed by the 12 National Lottery Distributing Bodies at arms length from
the Government. The Lottery Distributing Bodies distribute funding across four good
cause areas as set out in legislation, the National Lottery etc Act 1993; communities
40%, arts 20%, heritage 20%, and sport 20%.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>There is
a publicly available database to access information on distribution of Lottery funding
that can be accessed through the <a href="https://www.lottery.culture.gov.uk/" target="_blank">Gov.uk</a>
website. This website brings together National Lottery grant data from the commencement
of the National Lottery in 1994 to January 2018 and allows searches to be made for
good cause grants in each region within specific timeframes. Due to technical limitations
with the historic database, we have not yet been able to incorporate more recent National
Lottery grant data. We are currently developing a new database which will be launched
this year and will include data from 2018 onwards.</p><p> </p>
