Our Social Value Framework
Responsible play
Player safety is our top priority. We want people to enjoy The National Lottery, and to do so in a responsible way. You can find out more about our approach to Responsible Play here.
Protecting the planet
We have already made great progress in our ambition to create a net zero National Lottery. Our offices are now all off-gas, and we’ve seen a 74% reduction in our scope 1 and 2 emissions since our baseline year in 2024.
Prosperous places
We aim to build thriving high streets and communities, adding value through our relationships with independent retailers and National Lottery Distributors. We are working closely with them to support their own social value journeys, aligned with the priorities above. We are also committed to supporting small and medium sized businesses within our own supply chain.
Empowering people
We are making all parts of The National Lottery inclusive – whether you play a game in a store or online, if you’re a retailer who sells lottery games or however you come into contact with The National Lottery.
As one example of this, we're working to remove barriers for customers with disabilities. We have enhanced our physical and online environments, policies, and practices for a more inclusive experience.
This commitment extends to our workplace, where we strive to create one of the UK's most inclusive environments, promoting the well-being of our team.

Social Value Fund
As part of Allwyn UK’s ambitious social value framework, we invest every year in social value initiatives that help us to deliver a positive legacy.
We are working closely with the distributors of National Lottery funding, as well as with retailers, to see how Allwyn UK and its partners can help communities and high streets to thrive. The annual funding comes from Allwyn UK and is additional to The National Lottery funding distributed by the 12 National Lottery Distributors.
