People's Postcode Lottery
13.01.2019
Since 2018, players of People's Postcode Lottery have supported our work to end homelessness.
To date, players of People's Postcode Lottery have raised more than £6 million to help us end homelessness across Great Britain. See how this incredible support is helping to change lives across the country:
This support helps to fund year-round work and services at our 11 Crisis Skylight centres across Britain. Here, we provide one-to-one coaching and advice with housing, education, employment and health to help people leave homelessness behind. Last year we supported more than 11,000 people on their journeys out of homelessness.

During the coronavirus outbreak, players of People’s Postcode Lottery have helped to fund Crisis’ emergency grants scheme, which has offered financial support to smaller local organisations supporting people facing homelessness. Community Infosource was one of the recipients of a Crisis grant, and our Chief Executive, Jon Sparkes, spoke to Shafiq from the organisation to find out more about the impact of this support:
Thank you to players of People’s Postcode Lottery for their support of Crisis today and throughout the year. Future funding is intended to be awarded by Postcode Support Trust, a promoting society of People’s Postcode Lottery.
People's Postcode Lottery manages multiple society lotteries promoted by different Postcode Trusts. A list of the charities supported by these Postcode Trusts is available here.
