Helping athletes give back
After making us proud at the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics this summer, our elite athletes will be helping and inspiring the communities that have supported them thanks to a new National Lottery initiative.
Did you know...?
At the 1996 Olympic Games, Great Britain and Northern Ireland finished 36th in the medal table with one gold medal. Then in 1997, National Lottery funding for elite sport began.
Since then, at the conclusion of the Tokyo 2020 Games, we have won over 1,000 Olympic and Paralympic medals.
Our athlete's success is made possible by you, National Lottery players. Because this year: your ticket is their ticket to Paris.
