Turn community support into lasting educational impact
With UK schools facing severe budget constraints, school fundraising is no longer just about extra luxuries - it is a critical pillar of operational resilience. Underfunded schools impact the entire community, leading to stretched resources and fewer enrichment opportunities for children.
Your School Lottery offers a predictable, trusted, and recurring revenue stream to help bridge that gap. Purpose-built for parents, carers, and local communities, our digital platform makes it effortless to unite your school network, support your teachers, and enrich your pupils' education.
Why choose Your School Lottery?
Created for parents by parents, Your School Lottery was the UK’s first ethical digital lottery platform dedicated strictly to advancing educational needs. Managed by Gatherwell - an award-winning, fully regulated lottery provider - it's a risk-free, year-round alternative to traditional fundraising.
● Faff-free management: 100% digital and automated. Zero setup costs, zero physical admin, and no hidden charges.
● Maximum community benefit: 65% of every £1 ticket goes directly back to your community - 40% directly to your school's bank account and 25% to guaranteed supporter prizes.
● Year-round revenue: Keep fundraising consistently through half-terms and summer holidays. Selling just 50 tickets a week raises over £1,000 every year.
● Turnkey marketing: Access custom promotional materials, automated performance tracking, and an intuitive online dashboard to engage busy parents easily.
How it works for parents & supporters
For just £1 per ticket a week, parents and local supporters get a fun, ethical way to back their school while winning exciting rewards:
● Guaranteed local winners: One of your school's supporters is guaranteed to win a cash prize every single week.
● £25,000 national jackpot: Every ticket enters the weekly national draw for a chance to win the £25,000 jackpot.
● Monthly direct payouts: Funds raised are paid straight into your school's nominated bank account every month.
