About Health CICs
The 12 Health CICs are engaged in tackling health inequalities within their respective regions and have partnered with People’s Health Trust to invest in local people and local communities to enable them to make where they live fairer places to grow, live, work and age.
Each of the 12 Health CICs operates a Regional Lottery and funds its activities through these lottery proceeds.
The Health Lottery Scheme manages these 12 Regional Lotteries that operate in rotation and each represents a different geographical region of Great Britain. They raise money for health-related good causes within each of their individual community areas.
The grant-making process is determined by local need and requirement and, through the 12 Regional Health Lotteries, every region in Great Britain will benefit. These lotteries are operated under a single brand, The Health Lottery, but each ticket will have the name of the specific Regional Lottery which will benefit from that particular month’s draw. Information on this can also be obtained from The Health Lottery website, via its helpline 0844 375 5555 and from Health Lottery retailers where you can buy tickets. Calls to The Health Lottery will be charged at 5p per minute from a BT landline. Charges from other service providers will vary.
The Regional Lotteries have a very specific focus on providing funding where there are health inequalities which are currently not being met by other financial sources. Alongside our partner registered charity, People's Health Trust, we have a very robust process in place which ensures the right organisations get the money.
To ensure that grants do help reduce health inequalities the activities are regulated by the Charity Commission (and by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator) and by the Office of the Regulator of Community Interest Companies. Grants are sometimes made in instalments to ensure all money is being used for the intended purpose. People's Health Trust has follow-up processes to monitor the progress of projects given grants and evaluate the results.
