Magic Little Grants
We are delighted to announce that Magic Little Grants 2019 is now live! This fund gives local charities and community groups the chance to apply online for £500 grants to deliver projects across Great Britain that encourage people to be physically active. Magic Little Grants 2019 is funded by the Postcode Community Trust, a grant-giving charity funded by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
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.
