We want to enable as many organisations as possible to join the lottery as a good cause. As you will be joining under our overall gambling licence (Gambling Act 2005) we have to ensure that organisations meet certain criteria. There is no application fee.

Your organisation must:

  • Provide community activities or services within Swansea, which are of benefit to the residents of Swansea
  • Have a formal constitution or set of rules
  • Have a bank account requiring at least two unrelated signatories
  • Operate with no undue restrictions on membership

And be either:

  • A constituted group with a volunteer management committee with a minimum of three unrelated members that meets on a regular basis (at least three times per year)
  • A registered charity, with a board of trustees with a minimum of 3 unrelated trustees

Or:

  • A registered Community Interest Company (limited by guarantee or limited by shares schedule 2 only), and provide copies of your Community Interest Statement, details of the Asset Lock included in your Memorandum and Articles of Association, and a copy of your latest annual community interest report
  • A company limited by guarantee with a clear not-for-profit clause and suitable dissolution clause.
  • A Community Benefit Society, or Registered Society whose articles fit a Community Benefit Society.

You will be asked to commit to using the marketing materials provided and other means of communication to achieve at least 20 ticket sales within four weeks of being provided a page on the site.

We will not permit applications from:

  • Groups promoting a particular religious, faith or political belief or activity
  • A campaign that does not directly relate to the provision of community activities or services within Swansea
  • Organisations that do not do work within the boundaries of Swansea
  • Individuals
  • Organisations which aim to distribute a profit
  • Organisations where control is not in the hands of a group of a minimum of 3 unrelated people (committee members, trustees, directors etc.)

We are also unable to accept applications that are incomplete.

Swansea Council for Voluntary Service (SCVS) reserves the right to reject any application for any reason without offering an appeals process.

Swansea Council for Voluntary Service (SCVS) will reserve its rights to not accept or cease to license any organisation with a minimum of 7 days' notice for any reason. If fraudulent or illegal activity is suspected cessation will be immediate.
