Magic Little Grants
Our Magic Little Grants 2019 programme has now closed. This fund awarded over 900 grants to local charities and community groups working to support people across Great Britain to be physically active. Magic Little Grants 2019 was funded by the Postcode Community Trust, a grant-giving charity funded by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. We will be announcing the full results in due course.
Local Hero 2019
Local Hero 2019 was our most successful competition to date. 453 fundraisers raised £160k from 6,261 donors for 209 local groups. After a nail-biting finish, Ben Kane was crowned our Local Hero champion. Ben secured a phenomenal £10,000 for Park In The Past CIC. Another £4,000 in prizes have been awarded to the causes supported by the other top 19 fundraisers.
