Time well spent 

"We know that volunteering is time well spent. It’s not only good for the charities and organisations being supported, but studies show volunteers are happier, healthier and feel more connected to their community. 

"So I’m delighted that funding raised by Postcode Lottery players is going to mean it’s easier for people up and down the country to get involved in causes they care about." 

Clara Govier, Managing Director at People’s Postcode Lottery
