About Cheltenham Lottery Community Fund

The council has agreed that the general good cause fund will be Cheltenham's No Child Left Behind year of action

In response to the levels of child poverty in Cheltenham and its impact on local children, the council and its partners have committed to a year of action that is:

• Highlighting the issue of children growing up in poverty in Cheltenham and the inequality between them and their more affluent peers
• Starting to address the inequality gap beginning with 12 month programme of events and activities
• Acting as a call to action for all sectors to work together to make transformational change over the longer-term

To date the project has delivered the following events and activities:

• Launched Unstoppable in March, our period poverty project that is making free sanitary products available across Cheltenham
• Hosted the annual Children’s Festival in May, that over 3000 children and families attended
• Organised our ambitious careers event in July that over 400 children took part in
• Supported over 40 summer holiday activities as part of our school holiday programme

The No Child Left Behind year of action continues and we would appreciate your support to keep the good work going, helping all our children and young people thrive.
