Relaxing lottery rules in NI ‘would hand charities multimillion funding boost’

Today North Antrim MLA Sian Mulholland launched a public consultation on her Assembly Members’ Bill proposing a change in the law to allow expansion of charity lottery fundraising in Northern Ireland. The launch took place at Amy’s House in Belfast, which is run by Young Lives vs Cancer, one of the charities that would benefit. It provides families with free accommodation to remain close to their children during cancer treatment at the nearby Belfast City Hospital.
