The East Hampshire community chest is a grant scheme set-up to award funds raised through the East Hampshire community lottery. East Hampshire community lottery is a weekly lottery that directly supports local good causes and community initiatives. A portion of every ticket sold for the lottery is collected into the Community Chest fund. 

The East Hampshire community lottery was launched in April 2020 and now has more than 50 local good causes signed up who benefit from funds raised via their own ticket sales. 60% of every ticket sold for the lottery goes to local good causes, either directly or into the community chest fund.

Only good causes who are active participants in the East Hants lottery will be eligible to bid for funding from the community chest.

Find out more about the community lottery or would like to sign-up to become a good cause.
