It's time to start our 2026 fundraising journey with a bang! Our friends at Sported Lottery have brought back an old favourite for the New Year Super Draw this January - one lucky supporter will win a huge £1,000 Aldi gift card - or of course, a £1,000 cash alternative.
Stock up on groceries, Super 6 fruit and veg, and award-winning wines; or splash out on those unexpected Specialbuys in the middle aisle – who knows what you'll come home with!?
It's the perfect time to give Communities First a New-Year's fundraising boost.
Or, for those who are already subscribed supporters, why not invite friends and family using the new Refer a Friend process? For every person that signs up using their unique referral link, you'll BOTH get an entry into the exclusive £200 prize draw!
🎉 Welcome to the Grassroots Sport Lottery – Supporting Communities First! 🎉
Hello and welcome!
Here at Communities First we’re excited to be part of the Grassroots Sport Lottery, helping us raise vital funds to continue the work we do across Croydon and beyond. From youth programmes and community fridges to walking football and mental well-being sessions — every ticket you buy helps us build stronger, healthier, and more connected communities.
Why We Need Your Help
We’re passionate about creating opportunities for everyone — especially young people — to thrive through Sport, Mentoring, and Community Support. But we can’t do it alone.
Funds raised through the lottery will go directly towards:
Expanding our Selhurst Community Academy
Providing free access to sports, training, and healthy lifestyle programmes
Supporting our volunteers and youth mentors
Launching new initiatives in mental health, employment skills, and food justice
We’ve got big goals – and your support will help us get there. Whether it's kit for our teams, equipment for training, or hosting life-changing workshops – your ticket is your way of making a real impact.
