Barnardo’s Weekly Lottery gives players the chance to win big every Friday while supporting children. It costs just £1 to play and you’ll be supporting the UK’s leading children’s charity.
Our lottery players win thousands of prizes every year, but the biggest winners are the children and families Barnardo’s support. Together, our lottery players raised over £1 million for children in 2023! Funds like these are changing childhoods across the UK and helping give more children a better start in life – like those living in poverty.
It’s estimated that around eight children in every classroom are living in poverty, and the cost-of-living crisis means that things are getting worse. But when you play our lottery, you’re helping to provide support like food, energy vouchers, school uniforms and shoes to keep children well-fed, safe and happy.
Join today and play your part in helping to change childhoods and change lives. There is no better feeling than that.

Can you imagine how distressing it was for 10-month-old Sarah and her mum, Amber, when they left an abusive relationship and instantly became homeless?
Amber was left with almost nothing.
That night, Sarah and Amber were placed in temporary accommodation. Amber says, “There was one double bed. I didn’t even want to put my little girl in it. The mattress was filthy and covered in stains. I didn’t know what to do.”
Fortunately, Amber’s health visitor referred her to the Barnardo’s children and family service, and we were able to send one of our project workers, April, to support the family. After ensuring Sarah was safe and healthy, April brought some toys and books. She also provided practical support with things like housing applications, as well as a listening ear so Amber had less to worry about and could spend more time making memories with Sarah.
Amber says, “There is not even a word good enough to describe April and all that Barnardo’s has done for us. April has been like gold dust.”
By playing our Weekly Lottery, you’ll sprinkle some hope in children’s lives.
Believe in the win. Believe in children.

Amber and Sarah’s story is true, but names have been changed and models used to protect the privacy of the people we help.
