To say thank you for the £30million raised for good causes every week by players and to welcome people back to their happy places, The National Lottery is unlocking free entry and special offers at a range of participating venues, as part of The National Lottery Open Week.
From Saturday 5 to Sunday 13 June, The National Lottery Open Week line-up includes free entry as well as exclusive discounts and offers from incredible attractions and experiences across the UK, including Grimm & Co. From galleries and museums to historic castles and gardens as well as sports stadiums and venues, offers are open to anyone with a valid National Lottery ticket or scratchcard and there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Grimm & Co’s thank you:
Come along to Grimm & Co’s pop-up apothecary at Ship Hill, Rotherham, S60 2HG on the 12th June and let us say #ThanksToYou! The first 25 customers with a National Lottery ticket will receive a mystery goodie bag and the chance to win priority access to one of our creative writing workshops.
Funding from The National Lottery has supported our charity for the last five years, helping to build a community of loyal volunteers. Grimm & Co would not be able to do what we do without our wonderful volunteers and we are so grateful. The funds we received have helped us to provide a wide range of support, training experiences and qualifications to our volunteers, as well as developing community engagement and involvement. We have also received extra funding to enable Grimm to continue working with our volunteers, families and young people through the pandemic.
As one volunteer stated, “The rewards of being a volunteer at Grimm & Co are tremendous and the results are almost instantaneous. All in all, Grimm really are changing lives one story at a time for all, young and old…”
Volunteer Coordinator Meg Harvey said “We’re thrilled to be taking part in The National Lottery Open Week this year. We’ve been fortunate to receive National Lottery funding, which has enabled us to support our volunteers and young people and continue our important work thoughout this past year. This is our way of saying thank you to everyone who has bought a National Lottery ticket, helped us on our journey and made a vital contribution to supporting good causes. We’re excited to welcome you back soon!”

Now, more than ever, people are excited to rediscover their happy place, or find a new one close to home, and we’re proud that so many incredible spaces across the sport, arts, heritage and community sectors have signed up to offer their thanks.”
