Thinking about funds raised by the National Lottery, please can you say whether you think Lottery funds have had a positive impact, a negative impact, or no impact at all on:
| Positive Impact | No Real Impact | Negative Impact | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The UK as a whole | 61% | 25% | 11% |
| My region of the country | 46% | 38% | 10% |
| My local area | 32% | 49% | 13% |
Money raised by the National Lottery is used to help fund Good Causes including charities, health, education, sport, the environment and the arts. Since the Lottery was launched in 1994, 12 years ago, how much money do you think has been raised altogether for the Lottery's Good Causes?
Since the Lottery was launched in 1994, how many individual grants do you think have been made from funds raised by the National Lottery?
Thinking now about your postcode area – the first letters and numbers of your postcode – how many Lottery-funded projects do you think there are, on average, in each postcode area?
In fact the National Lottery has raised over £19 billion for Good Causes since it was launched in 1994. This has been used to fund over 240,000 projects in the UK, an average of 79 Lottery-funded projects in each postcode area, including village halls, local parks, and things like the Eden Project in Cornwall and the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Bearing this in mind, please can you say whether you think Lottery funds have had a positive impact, a negative impact or no real impact at all on:
