relationship between ticket sales and income generated for Good Causes depends on
the mix of games sold, as each has a different percentage return to Good Causes.</p><p><br></p><p>In
addition, good causes in Scotland receive funding from the four UK-wide distributors:
British Film Institute, UK Sport, Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery Fund. Each
distributor takes account of a variety of considerations including geographical spread
of funding, deprivation data and participation rates when determining priorities and
allocating budget.</p><p><br></p><p>For example, up to 10 per cent of the Big Lottery
Fund budget is top sliced for UK programmes. Scotland receives 11.5 per cent of the
remaining budget. In 2016, the Big Lottery Fund gave grants of between £8,106 - £10,000
to projects in three primary schools in North Lanarkshire, as well a variety of organisations
seeking to improve community well-being, including the Love n Light Recovery Organisation,
Moira Anderson Foundation, Mornay Social Club, and Newmains Community Trust. Further

Heritage Lottery Fund’s open programmes are calculated on a per capita basis. Budgets
for targeted programmes are not distributed on this basis, instead Scotland bids alongside
the rest of the UK for access to those funds.</p>
