The Changemaker initiative is composed of three elements. First, after the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, more than 130 athletes pledged to return throughout the country to support base projects. The second element allows athletes to request grants to support their personal projects, and successful recipients are announced today. The third thread is a special changemaker cohort ‘driven by the purpose’. This is a United Kingdom sports program that provides athletes with the skills, knowledge and confidence to make success in the playing field into a long -term positive impact for communities.
The National Lottery increases on average £ 30 million each week for national projects financed by the lottery. This is the power behind the social impact of the National Lottery throughout the country, from the arts, to the heritage, to the community, the sport and our elite athletes. The Allwyn Allwyn Social Value Fund of £ 1M is designed to improve and support these initiatives and cannot be financed with money assigned for good causes of the National Lottery or National Lottery players.
Changemakers is an association between Allwyn, UK Sport, Team GB and Paralympicsgb launched in 2024. The Changemaker initiative was the first campaign launched as part of Allwyn’s commitment to operate the National Lottery in a national lottery in an environmental and annual social value fund through its own social value fund.
