Small Society Lottery Factsheet

A society must be a non-commercial organisation and the act describes a society if it is established and conducted for:

• Charitable purposes;
• For the purpose of enabling participation in, or of supporting, sport, athletics or a cultural activity; or
• Any other non-commercial purpose other than that of private gain.

A society must not be set up purely for the purpose of holding a lottery - it must have some other purpose.
