People's Postcode Lottery has been supporting charities throughout Great Britain and beyond since 2005. Our mission is to raise funds for, and build awareness of charities and good causes. We do this by managing multiple society lotteries, promoted by different charities, supporting a range of good causes in Great Britain and around the world. The Players of People's Postcode Lottery have raised more than £197.5 Million for charity. The money raised by our players is awarded to good causes through a collection of themed charity Trusts. These Trusts then provide grants to charities and community projects. Players also directly support a range of charities including Oxfam, Dogs Trust, Maggie's and PDSA. The Postcode Lotteries formula was the inspiration of our parent company, Novamedia. In 1989, Novamedia launched the Dutch Postcode Lottery, followed by the Friends Lottery in 1998 and the BankGiro Lottery in 2002. The Postcode Lotteries were then launched in Great Britain and Sweden in 2005. Our players have raised more than 7.2 billion euros for charities and good causes, making us the third largest private charity donor in the world.
