An update report on the establishment of a lottery to raise money for good causes

Following the CEB meeting in March 2017, CEB requested that the Executive Director for Organisational Development and Corporate Services bring a further report to City Executive Board following soft market testing for an External Lottery Manager and engagement with the voluntary and community sector to understand the appetite for and implications of setting up the lottery.

The Executive Director for Organisational Development and Corporate Services submitted a report which proposed to set up an Oxford Lottery to ease growing demand on the Council’s open and small grants programmes.

Councillor Brown, Board member for Customer and Corporate Services presented the report.

The City Executive Board resolved to:

1.    Request that the Executive Director for Organisational Development and Corporate Services bring a further report to City Executive Board following soft market testing for an External Lottery Manager and engagement with the voluntary and community sector to understand the appetite for and implications of setting up the lottery.
