The decision six months ago, by TLC’s owner charities, to open up the independent
scheme has led to significant growth in the number or organisations benefiting from
funding generated by the lottery.
The Birmingham-based lottery, has raised more 
than £1.7 million since its creation in 1997. It currently has over 16,000 players
each week.

The number of charities benefiting from the lottery is expected to pass the 100 
mark by early next year.

Organisations involved include Barnardos, Macmillan Cancer Relief, Marie-Curie Hospice
and the Terrence Higgins Trust.
