People’s Postcode Lottery awards funding to Street League

This evening at People’s Postcode Lottery Charity Gala at the Assembly Rooms, First Minister the Rt Hon Nicola Sturgeon presented Street League Chief Executive Matt Stevenson-Dodd with a cheque for £200,000.

These funds will allow the charity to engage 2,000 unemployed 16-24 year olds and help them move into work, training or education by 2017.

During the course of the evening, over £5.1 million was awarded to charities and good causes supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
