ACLEU lunch event

The event will feature the launch of a new report on the potential of the charity lottery sector to help fill funding gaps in Europe’s challenging charity landscape, and to highlight best practice in creating a regulatory environment that allows this sector to flourish.

After the presentation, a high-level panel discussion will bring together experts from across philanthropy, civil society and the charity lottery sector:

• Chair: Malcolm Fleming – President, Association of Charity Lotteries in Europe

• Carlotta Besozzi – Director, Civil Society Europe

• Delphine Moralis – Chief Executive, Philea

• Laurence de Nervaux – Directrice Générale, Destin Commun

• John Fleming – Chief Executive, St John of God Foundation

Together, they will reflect on how the sector can better support organisations that defend rights, democracy and social cohesion across Europe. We will close the event with an opportunity for further networking and informal exchange over coffee.

We look forward to welcoming you there!

About ACLEU

The Association of Charity Lotteries in Europe (ACLEU) is an international non-profit organisation, established in 2007 to promote the charity lottery model and to give a voice to charity lotteries and their beneficiaries in the European debate on games of chance and in all matters relating to fundraising through charity lotteries. The members of ACLEU believe charities in every European country should be empowered to use a charity lottery as a fundraising tool. We also believe that charity lotteries should be able to operate nation-wide, financing national civil societies, and working with a licence issued by the national government or their appropriate regulator. Charity lotteries have proven to be successful in a number of European countries such as the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Great Britain. These lotteries have joined forces in ACLEU to promote this effective fundraising model throughout Europe by raising awareness among politicians, policymakers, and charities. Through raising awareness and advocating for progressive changes in the way charity lotteries are regulated, it is the hope of ACLEU that more charitable organisations will be able to benefit from the proceeds of charity lotteries in the future.
