Making a Difference:

Our goal is to create one of the UK's most inclusive organisations - where people can bring the best of themselves, to do their best work, every day, for the benefit of good causes.

While the main contribution of the National Lottery to society is through the funds to good causes, at Allwyn we put our purpose and values at the heart of everything we do.

That's why we have committed to an ambitious Social Value strategy, which is woven into the way we do business.

We believe that lotteries must serve everyone, not just those who play.

So, whether as an employee, a supplier, a retailer or any of the stakeholders that we interact with, we will be powering good across the UK.
