About NYCDA

Based in Bury, Greater Manchester, National Youth & Community Development Association (NYCDA) is a not-for-profit organisation that primarily looks to raise funds for its beneficiary partners via our Gambling Commission licenced NYCDA Weekly Draw.

NYCDA exists to help partners provide sport, health and education-based opportunities to young people and their families, regardless of their background and ability. We do this by working with a variety of organisations ranging from localised charities to professional sports clubs across country.

We are always on the lookout for new beneficiary partners who want to work out and as such encourage anyone interested in finding out more to get in touch.

Where do the proceeds go?


All proceeds from the NYCDA Weekly Draw go towards meeting our community support focused aims and objectives. Members join to participate in the weekly draw and nominate a chosen beneficiary partner to receive a donation from proceeds.

At an organisational level, we are pleased that a total income from the NYCDA Weekly Draw of £1,065,716.00 was generated over the 52 weekly draws that took place during the calendar year of 2023. For more information on previous years please take a look at the Impact Reports we publish on the 'important information' section of this site.

From that total, a fantastic £604,599.94 was generated to be used by our beneficiaries and good causes for a range of sport, health & wellbeing, youth player development and education-based community projects. These projects range from youth football development in Bury and the support of key support services for Rossendale Hospice, to funding the improvement of community focused match day entertainment in Walsall, and rugby league based community development programmes in Leeds and the wider West Yorkshire area.

On top of those funds raised, the rest of the income is spent on organisational expenses and our prize fund, with nearly £100,000 up for grabs each year, including a guaranteed £1000 main prize and a £500 Rollover that can reach a huge £10,000.
