National Lottery to be Reformed (UK) The UK Government has announced that it will reform the National Lottery in order to bring in an extra £50 million each to arts, sport and heritage. “The National Lottery was created in 1994 and, since that time, around £25 billion has been raised for good causes. The Government also pledged that funding for the voluntary and community sector (VCS) – key players in the Government’s plans to create a Big Society – will be protected. It should rise from current levels of £564 million a year in 2009 to more than £630 million a year by 2013, when the Olympic transfer comes to an end. In Many cases the greater shares going to the arts, sport and heritage will also directly benefit the VCS sector.
