Our Story
Founded in 1988 as Compulotteries by Steve and Julie Williams, LFS designed and built the first bespoke computer lottery system in the UK. Since then, LFS has grown into one of the country’s most established fundraising organisations, supporting charities through lottery fundraising, regular giving campaigns, telesales supporter upgrade campaigns and professional face-to-face fundraising.
Today, LFS works with charities across the UK to help recruit supporters, generate sustainable income and build long-term fundraising programmes. While the organisation has grown significantly over the years, our focus remains the same: helping charities earn sustainable, reliable income while protecting their reputation, supporters and long-term interests.
Why Charities Choose LFS
For many charities, LFS becomes not only their fundraising partner but also an extension of their organisation. That’s why our focus extends beyond supporter acquisition alone.
We understand the trust our charity partners place in us to represent their brand, engage with their supporters and protect their reputation. Every campaign we deliver is designed to balance sustainable fundraising performance with professionalism, compliance and supporter experience.
Supporting charities for more than 35 years has taught us that successful fundraising is built on long-term relationships, operational excellence and doing the right thing for our partners and their supporters.
