We are delighted at the continued level of interest and enthusiasm for the Rushmoor Community Lottery, particularly over the last 18 months. At the end of August we celebrated our fourth anniversary when we had raised almost £120,000 for local good causes. A huge thank you to everyone for your continued support.
