Support to date from players of People's Postcode Lottery has been fundamental towards helping tackle global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, waste and pollution, through our work to accelerate the transition to a circular economycircular economyA systems solution framework that tackles global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution. It is based on three principles, driven by design: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials (at their highest value), and regenerate nature.. Through its regular support as a Strategic Partner, People's Postcode Lottery Earth Trust is helping the Foundation elevate circular economy ideas into the mainstream, and expand its programmes across education, research and communications.
Most recently, the Foundation received £1.25 million from the 2022 Dream Fund award for The Food Challenge; a project that aims to see nature positive food on supermarket shelves in the next two years. The Dream Fund has been critical in kick-starting some of our largest initiatives, including £500,000 for the New Plastics Economy in 2016, and £1 million for Make Fashion Circular in 2019, helping redesign global plastics systems and the fashion industry respectively.
Players of People's Postcode Lottery first funded the Ellen MacArthur Foundation in 2016 when, along with the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, they won £500,000 to fund their dream project - The New Plastics Economy. Since then the relationship has gone from strength to strength and I am delighted that our players are now able to support the Foundation as a long-term supported charity of People's Postcode Lottery.
