Re: Charity Money

I suspect that the argument would be that they want to make it fair. Imagine if one area of the country has very little money and so spends very little on the lottery - they're probably the area that needs the lottery funding.

From what I've seen they do spread lottery funds fairly evenly around the country. Hyndburn is now one of the the Fairshare areas. There are a few areas up and down the country that have been designated Fairshare by the lottery. A set amount of money was then put aside for each of those areas to address the balance.

I'll also repeat what I've said many times - Hyndburn has missed out on funding mostly because few organisations apply for the funding and so therefore less comes to Hyndburn.
