Terms & Conditions - Good Causes

Charities and community groups working in the Salisbury City parish can register free of charge to become a Good Cause. As well as receiving their own Salisbury City Community Lottery page, Good Causes will also be given access to their own dashboard to monitor ticket sales. They will be provided with templates to easily create branded posters and marketing materials featuring their own logo to promote themselves as a Good Cause with the Salisbury City Community Lottery and encourage people to become supporters.
