And it’s already making a real difference locally.

Walter Halls School only launched their lottery recently and is already on track to raise over £1,000 this year with very little effort. Mapperley Plains School has raised over £5,000 to date, helping support pupils and enhance what the school can offer.

Friends of Holly Hill PTA has raised more than £14,000 through their lottery, funding trips, experiences, and memorable events for pupils throughout the year. At Crossdale Drive Primary School in Keyworth, their lottery has raised over £6,000, with strong support from parents and the wider school community.

These examples show how a simple idea can deliver meaningful results.

Getting started is straightforward. Schools can set up their own lottery in just a few simple steps, with support, marketing materials, and a weekly draw provided. Once up and running, it fits easily alongside existing fundraising, running consistently in the background – even during school holidays.

For parents, it’s just as appealing. For as little as £1 per week, they can support the school in a way that feels easy and enjoyable, while also having the chance to win cash prizes. It’s a small contribution that can add up to a big impact over time.

At a time when schools are being asked to do more with limited resources, having a fundraising option that is both sustainable and low effort can make a real difference. That’s why more Nottinghamshire schools are choosing to run their own lottery – and seeing the benefits for their pupils and wider community.

If you’re looking for a simple way to raise funds for your school or PTA, Your School Lottery could be the answer.
