Leading international lottery betting business, myLotto24, donates all bets made on its site on Friday, December 15 to leading HIV and sexual health charity, Terrence Higgins Trust, (THT).
The announcement comes two weeks after World AIDS Day on December 1, when Prince Harry and Ms Meghan Markle made their first public engagement together, visiting the charity’s World AIDS Day fair in Nottingham.
All money raised on Friday, December 15 will support the THT’s, whose Work Positive programme helps people living with HIV and who are unemployed into employment, through support, training and work placements. myLotto24 is a proud partner of this programme.
Claire McMaster, Director of Fundraising, Terrence Higgins Trust, said: “With the amazing medical progress made over the last few years, we’re beginning to get closer to ending HIV. But we’re not there yet. More funds are needed to ensure people are getting tested and, if diagnosed with HIV, do so early and can access effective treatment. We must also continue to tackle the huge levels of stigma facing people living with HIV, and support and empower them to live well. That’s why we’re thrilled that myLotto24 has selected us as its launch charity of choice – helping us raise vital funds on our journey to achieve all of these things.”
Lena Patel, Head of Corporate Affairs, myLotto24, added: “Giving back is core to what we do. In the last four years myLotto24 has given close to a million pounds to amazing causes such as SportsAid and the London Community Foundation; helping support the athletes of tomorrow and the communities of today. As we launch in the UK, we’re delighted to give our customers the opportunity to bet for good; a chance to win life-changing sums of money while helping Terrence Higgins Trust continue their amazing work, including getting people living with HIV back into work through its Work Positive initiative.”
