This National Lottery Open Week, we’re saying #THANKSTOYOU with a special offer
Every week National Lottery players raise over £30 million for good cause projects, like ours. That’s why we’re pleased to be taking part in National Lottery Open Week, which celebrates the contribution of National Lottery players in supporting good causes over the past 30 years.
To thank National Lottery players for their support, we will be offering a free back issue of ‘Slipknot’, the Guild’s quarterly journal, or a ‘100 Objects’ poster on 18 March. Anyone who presents any National Lottery ticket (digital or physical), scratchcard, or Instant Win Game, on this date will be able to take up this special offer. Please check our full terms and conditions below.
As a recipient of National Lottery funding, the Knitting & Crochet Guild has been able to photograph and share 100 objects from the Guild Collection.
The National Lottery supports good cause projects in the areas of arts, education, environment, health, heritage, sport and community. Over the past 30 years, National Lottery players have raised more than £49 billion for projects which are making a huge difference to lives of people and communities throughout the whole of the UK.
We are one of many participating National Lottery-funded projects across the UK who are proud to be taking part in National Lottery Open Week, coming together to say #ThanksToYou to the players with special offers. Visit www.NationalLotteryOpenWeek.com to find out more.
