Society lotteries are a vital fundraising tool for many charities, community groups, sports clubs and other non-commercial organisations.<\/p>
In 2020, the annual sales limit was increased from £10 million to £50 million as part of a wider package of changes to society lottery limits.<\/p>
My department continues to work closely with the Gambling Commission to monitor society lotteries and the charities they support.<\/p>

Schools can play an important role in promoting mental wellbeing and supporting pupils, but teachers are not mental health professionals and knowledge and practice in the mental health field is constantly developing. Action taken by them is best supported by advice from specialist services, as well as by access to treatment for pupils where needed. We are investing an additional £1.4 billion in children\u2019s mental health services in the five years to 2020.<\/p> Our schools/Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) link joint training pilot, across 225 schools in 27 Clinical Commissioning Groups, identified a range of different models for schools working more closely with single points of contact in specialist mental health services \u2013 making use of the additional investment. These resulted in a strengthening of communication and joint working arrangements between schools and specialist services, with quantifiable improvements in understanding of the referral routes amongst school staff \u2013 leading in many cases to higher quality and more timely referrals.<\/p> We will be considering with the Department of Health how best to build on the results of this pilot to improve links between schools, colleges and NHS mental health services as a part of our joint children and young people\u2019s mental health green paper, to be published by the end of the year.
