Allwyn UK

Exciting News! Today marks the beginning of a new era as Allwyn begins operating The National Lottery. Camelot has done a great job over the last three decades, generating over £48bn for almost 700,000 community, sport, arts and heritage projects in the UK and creating over 7,000 millionaires. We’re excited and privileged to take over the running of this national treasure. Over the next 10 years, Allwyn’s ambition is to offer more games, attract more players, inject more entertainment, create more winners, and raise more money for National Lottery-funded projects.

Purple Tuesday is proud to be the Accessibility Partner of Allwyn the licence operator for #TheNationalLottery. Mike Adams and Martin Smith were guests at the #Paris2024 #Paralympics. The Lottery supports athletes to maximise potential and opportunities. But the funding of the behind the scenes support infrastructure is equally important. It is the same in terms of our partnership. Across the Team we engage with all parts of the #AllwynUK business. Ensuring online accessibility. Communications are accessible. The product experience is increasingly accessible. And that the organisation itself if represented by disabled employees. Not tokenistic but barriers removed so talent can shine and succeed. At an event at the British Embassy we were name checked. It was a clear indicator that disability matters. Had become part of the organisation’s DNA. And opened up so many other conversations. About hoe together, we can really change the disability conversation. Not just at the elite end of the sporting spectrum but for the 14.6 million disabled people in the UK going about their daily lives. Spending their precious #PurplePound demands a quality experience. The example of a #DameTanniGrey being left on a train. Having to climb down herself. Is a stark reminder how far we still need to go. The Paralympics is shining a light. Our success is making the flame burn brightly. It is what we do next that matters. #PurpleTuesday will continue to work every day with Allwyn UK to drive together the changes needed. We will continue to work with any organisation committed to disability inclusion. It is about 1,400 days to the next Games in #LosAngeles. Let’s see then how far we have actually come. Disability in the limelight. We like it. Happy Tuesday. #UntoldStory #DisabilityConversation31 #BeASue #AccessibilityAwareness #DisabilityInclusion #EqualAccess #DisabilityAwareness

Ellie Challis wins gold in the women's S3 50m backstroke final at Paris 2024, with three-time Paralympic champion, Ollie Hynd MBE, cheering her on from Colchester Phoenix Amateur Swimming Club, a registered charity which provides swimming opportunities for people with disabilities.   With a gold medal to bring back to the Club, Ollie believes that Challis' success in the 50m backstroke can only inspire her former teammates to go on and achieve their own sporting success. "That is the essence of the Paralympics, it's that legacy," he said. "It's about inspiring people and about inspiring change." Thanks to National Lottery players our #Olympic & #Paralympic athletes are supported to train full time. With more than £30M a week raised for Good Causes, The National Lottery has enabled ParalympicsGB to become a global force in Para Swimming, and has provided more opportunities for people – inspired by athletes like Ellie – to take part in the sport. #TheNationalLottery #Paris2024 ParalympicsGB International Olympic Committee – IOC

A team of National Lottery winners from across Scotland recently teamed up with environmental charity, Keep Scotland Beautiful, to clean-up microplastics and litter from Troon Beach.    The National Lottery winners - with a combined wealth of almost £100M - volunteered to spend a morning scouring the Scottish coastline for litter and tiny pieces of plastic waste which can be harmful to visitors and wildlife.    By getting involved in any National Lottery game, players generate £30M each week for National Lottery-funded projects, helping to fund projects across the nation - both big and small.   #SocialValue #GoodCauses #Volunteering
