Good causes we've helped

"With the proceeds from the Love Blaby Lottery we have purchased a number of BeeBots! These are educational items to help the children at Blaby Stokes Primary School learn computer coding in a fun and easy way. This will help the children to learn digital skills which will be incredibly useful in the modern world.
We think the lottery is a brilliant scheme and has really helped us with a relatively passive income stream when it’s hard to keep asking our school community for donations. It’s been invaluable whilst Covid restrictions have been in place. Thank you!"
Rebecca Bunting – Treasurer at Association of Stokes School
"The proceeds from the Love Blaby Lottery have gone towards the hire of the village hall to enable us to run our sessions. We still have not recovered from the pandemic and our membership is so low that without the lottery we wouldn’t be able to continue."
Jim Oram – Club Coach at Countesthorpe Judo Club
Whetstone Good Neighbour Scheme was formed in 2016 by a group of volunteers who live in Whetstone. It aims to provide neighbourly assistance to those residents of Whetstone who are vulnerable or in need.
Lou Hathaway, Chair, says:
"The income from the Love Blaby Lottery has made us flexible in how we are able to help the vulnerable residents in Whetstone. Our biggest purchase this year has been a new wheelchair that's lightweight and easy to use. It enables us to get people to attend social events for those with limited mobility and has been a Godsend. The lottery has also enabled us to ensure we are able to continue with the day to day running of the scheme without the financial worries.
We cannot thank you enough for the value it has brought to our scheme. Not only does it benefit the members of having a scheme, it gives people a chance to win and it helps with all the smaller costs that can arise along the way. We are so grateful".
