CAARE, the Council for the Advancement of Arts, Recreation and Education, was formed by Austrialian orchestral conductor Denis Vaughan following on from the success of his Lottery Promotion Company. He has been described as the Lottery’s ‘Founding Father’ and the man who ‘brought more money to sport than anyone else in the 20th Century.’
CAARE now acts as a guardian of arts and sport, protecting the cultural interests of the British public through political campaigns, research and archiving information regarding the health, education and well being of Britain.
The National Lottery was initially set up to provide a funding base to Arts and Sports for all however over time lottery funds have been used to for other purposes. CAARE believes that the Lottery must be protected to serve its paying public personally. This can only be achieved, as initially proposed by the Rothschild Commission, by having a charitable foundation at the core of distributing Lottery funds.
