£76k for Dales from People’s Postcode Lottery

July 30, 2013

We would like to say a huge thank you to all the players of People’s Postcode Lottery for their ongoing support, as we’ve just been awarded an incredible £76,000 to support our work across the Yorkshire Dales!

Thanks to this support we are able to continue and expand our work caring for the people, environment and communities of this special part of the world.

This vital financial support brings the grand total awarded to YDMT by the charity lottery to £377,332 – a fantastic sum of money that means so much to the team here at YDMT, and the many communities and wildlife habitats that are able to help to care for with the help of People’s Postcode Lottery.

This is a staggering amount of money and we are very grateful to everyone who plays for their support which helps us to deliver a wide range of projects including habitat conservation, education and outreach, access improvements and apprenticeship schemes to name just a few.”

Kate Pearson, Acting Head of Charities at People’s Postcode Lottery, said: “We’re so happy to be able to support this wonderful charity yet again. It’s great that people in Yorkshire, including players of People’s Postcode Lottery, are able to benefit from the vital work they do. We see the difference they make to the lives of local people time and time again”
