Be part of a focus group to contribute to the Creative Lives response to the National Lottery Good Causes review
20th August, 2026
With just over a month left to contribute to the UK Government’s UK wide Call for Evidence on National Lottery Good Causes, Creative Lives is seeking your views to help develop their formal response to the consultation.
Creative Lives wants to bring creative groups from across the UK together online to collectively explore the key funding themes that matter to them and reflect this in their formal consultation response. The session will be held by Creative Lives' Policy Director, Jess Plant with officials from the DCMS Good Causes Lottery Team in attendance to give a short overview of the programme.
The focus group will take place online on 9 September 2026, 11am-12noon. Places can be booked on their website here: National Lottery Good Causes Session run by Creative Lives.
If you can’t attend this session and would still like to have your say, then please complete the survey online: National Lottery Good Causes: Fund what matters to you - GOV.UK
Everyone is welcome to contribute their thoughts to this call, individually or collectively: artists, cultural workers, organisations, and members of the public. It aims to check that this funding works well for the public, meets community needs, and is easy to access
We encourage everybody who cares about the arts – whether in their professional or personal lives – to take part in the consultation.
Please do take the time to share your thoughts, your experiences, and what this funding means to you.
