Did you know the Government raided £425 million from the Big Lottery Fund to pay for the 2012 Olympics?
The Big Lottery Fund supports charitable projects that help communities and people in need across the UK. £425 million could have funded over 10,000 charities!
We’re proud of the Olympics, but it wasn’t right to fund them this way. We demand that the £425 million is paid back to the Big Lottery Fund immediately, now that the Olympics are over.
The clock is ticking!
