A NEWTON Abbot-based charity is the 100th good cause to be supported by a community lottery.

Safebreaks CIC is the 100th charity to have been supported by Teignbridge Lottery for Communities.

First launched in December 2022, the lottery has supported myriad charities across the district.

Safebreaks CIC, which provides dedicated high quality, person-centred support, helping adults with disabilities build confidence, independence, and new abilities, was the 100th.

Zena Fisher, Managing Director of Safebreaks said: ‘We were told about the Teignbridge community lottery by the South Devon Asperger's group, who are also one of the Teignbridge lottery beneficiaries.

‘We found this a great opportunity to promote Safebreaks Devon CIC whilst helping the wider community, the lottery gives us a platform to network, and together we can all benefit more and support each other.’

60 percent of all ticket sales goes to good causes in the district - 50 percent to a chosen good cause and 10 percent to a central fund.

The remaining monies are split between the prize fund and administration costs
