“The ease of working with the lottery is first and foremost, the administration of being involved is the Oldham Community Lottery is practically zero because it has such a great team that do all the work for you!
The fact that we can look back and see that we have raised over £1,000 in a year isn’t bad at all! For an organisation like Community Radio, we can do a lot with that.
I think it goes without saying, but anyone who comes along and supports us in any way, shape or form, we owe them a debt of gratitude. Thank you to everyone who has supported us through the Oldham Community Lottery and bought tickets.” - Oldham Community Radio
