Fundraise for WFM

Wythenshawe Community Media - Lottery

Registered Charity No 1143638

Wythenshawe FM is a local community radio station that use the medium of radio to support local people to learn new skills and help build their confidence.

It works with various individuals, some with physical and mental health barriers to produce their own radio shows and have more independence in their lives. Our Lottery is operated by Unity which is the nation's fundraising lottery platform. It's designed to give good causes large and small - from a village playground fund to an international charity - the chance to raise money through their own weekly lottery.

When you join a lottery using the Unity platform, the platform guarantees that at least 50p of every £1 you play goes to your chosen cause. The remaining 50p is used by the platform to provide prizes and cover administration. This means that your chosen cause can run their own fundraising lottery with no ongoing cost to them!
