Bradley is encouraging organisations to bid for National Lottery funding.
Since its inception in 1994, the National Lottery has distributed £19,910,124 to Good Causes across the constituency, part of £49 billion raised nationwide.
Many of these grants have gone to small charities with annual incomes of £500,000 or less, providing crucial support to grassroots organisations.
This year marks three decades since the National Lottery's first draw, during which time it has become a cornerstone of community support and development throughout the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man.
Every week, approximately £30 million is raised for Good Causes, enabling vital work that strengthens local communities, empowers sports teams, supports environmental projects, fosters creative talent, assists the elderly, and unlocks the potential of young people.
In that time, over £49 billion has been raised for Good Causes, enabling more than 690,000 individual grants across the UK, averaging over £108 million or 2,319 projects each month.
Bradley recently attended a drop-in event in Parliament where he met with representatives from seven National Lottery funding distributors, including Arts Council England, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, The National Lottery Community Fund, Sport England, UK Sport, Arts Council of Wales, and Sport Wales, alongside Allwyn, the operator of the 4th National Lottery licence, and the Gambling Commission.
Bradley is now encouraging organisations across the constituency to bid for National Lottery funding and make the most of the fantastic funding opportunities available across the arts, culture and film, community, sports, and heritage sectors.
Bradley said:
"The National Lottery's impact on Bromsgrove and the Villages has been profound. From renovating community centres to supporting local sports clubs and preserving our heritage, its funding has touched countless lives.
"While jackpot winners make headlines, the real success story is how every ticket sold contributes to improving our community. I urge local organisations to explore National Lottery funding opportunities. Let's ensure our constituency continues to benefit from this vital resource in the years to come.”
