People’s Postcode Lottery: Charities across Spen Valley encouraged to take part in free virtual funding workshop
A free virtual funding workshop is being held by People’s Postcode Lottery for charities, volunteer organisations and community groups across the Spen Valley.
The live Zoom event will take place on Tuesday, February, 17, at 2pm, with Kim Leadbeater, the MP for Spen Valley, taking part. The session will give good causes in Kim’s constituency advice on how they can apply for funds to make a difference in their community.
To date, players of People’s Postcode Lottery have raised over £1.5 billion for good causes and are now raising over £20 million a month for thousands of charities, covering every constituency in the country.
In 2026, grassroots good causes will once again have the opportunity to apply for funding. Over £105,000 raised by People’s Postcode Lottery players has already made a difference to many small, local good causes in Spen Valley.
Kim said: “I am delighted to co-host this funding workshop with People’s Postcode Lottery to provide local charities with the information and tools they need to access funding.
“I know there are many charities in my constituency that would greatly benefit from additional funding, and I encourage them to attend the workshop to learn more about the opportunities available to them.
“It is of course thanks to the players of People’s Postcode Lottery that these funds are available, and I am grateful for their continued support.”
Head of Public Affairs at People’s Postcode Lottery, Nick Cook, added: “The money raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery is making a massive difference in communities across the country.
“We want to do as much as we can to help local charities and good causes successfully apply, particularly at a time when many are losing out on essential funds.
“Our free virtual workshop is a useful opportunity for smaller, local charities to find out about the funding available, get advice on applying and ask us any questions they may have.”
More than £1.5 billion has been raised for thousands of charities and good causes, thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
