FAQ

​​What is the Unity platform?

Unity is the nation's fundraising lottery platform. It's designed to give good causes large and small the chance to raise money through their own weekly lottery. When you join a lottery using the Unity platform, the platform guarantees that at least 50p of every £1 you play goes to your chosen cause. The remaining 50p is used by the platform to provide prizes and cover administration. This means that your chosen cause can run their own fundraising lottery with no ongoing cost to them!

So how does it work, exactly?

For just £1 per week you will be allocated with a unique six-digit lottery number, which will remain yours for as long as you wish to keep playing.
