The Trust supports so many great causes in Great Britain, and it's only
possible thanks to the players of People's Postcode Lottery – I'm really proud
to be part of it.”
Clara Govier, Head of Charities
and Communications at People's Postcode Lottery said, “2012 has been a hard year
for many charities as funding opportunities have been increasingly difficult to
achieve. So we are absolutely delighted
that we are finishing the year with such a wonderful announcement, and look
forward to increasing our support to groups in need across 2013.”
