TOM GATTOS, CO-FOUNDER OF THE RAINBOW LOTTERY.
Tom Gattos spent most of his life as an advertising copywriter, living, working and winning awards on four continents. But it was during lockdown in London, when he and his partner, David Murray, discovered almost every group in the UK had a lottery except the LGBTQ+ community!
As they had a pension pot saved for their retirement, they decided it was far better use of the money to remedy the situation and set up a lottery for the community's benefit, So The Rainbow Lottery was born.
Since its inception, their lottery has been shortlisted for some of the community's top awards, including 'The British LGBT Awards' and 'The Rainbow Honours Awards'.
At this writing, there are 142 LGBTQ+ good causes across the country benefiting from the lottery, which has a £25,000 weekly jackpot to galvanise supporters.
The causes include The LGBT Foundation, George House Trust, Mermaids, Peter Tatchell Foundation, Diversity Role Models, sports groups, Trans groups, youth groups, Helplines and Pride groups across the country. And of course, The Gay Professional Network!
Tom says he and David are thrilled to be able to help the community, and adds, "This is by far the best thing we've ever done."
