The new lottery is run online on the council’s behalf by Affinity Lottery and 60p of every £1 spent will be spent on local causes. For the coming year the council has chosen health and wellbeing, housing support and advice and more sustainable living as its good causes.
The rest of the money goes on prizes and administration costs. Later this year the council will be looking to make the first awards from the lottery towards its chosen causes.
Cllr Craig Skinner, the lead councillor for the lottery on Kettering Town Council, said: "Each year Kettering Town Council will identify areas of need and local organisations will be able to apply for small grants from the Lottery Fund. For the current year this will be health and wellbeing, help with housing problems, and projects which promote sustainability.
