Plenty to keep you busy…!

Before we sign off we also want to say happy birthday to The National Lottery. Since The National Lottery’s first draw took place on 19 November 1994, more than £40 billion has been raised for good causes in the areas of arts, sport, heritage and community. The 25th birthday is a moment to celebrate the extraordinary impact The National Lottery has had on the UK, and to say thank you to National Lottery players for contributing around £30 million to good causes every week. The National Lottery has made more than 5,500 millionaires but its primary purpose is giving to good causes – over 565,000 individual grants have been awarded across the UK, that’s the equivalent of 200 life-changing projects in every UK postcode district. We are proud of and grateful for our support from The National Lottery for all the work we do. Happy quarter century…!

Okay, remember we mentioned the forthcoming IMPATV / QUJAKU tour? Well here’s a slick little trailer to whet your appetites…
