WE would love to hear from your readers about local Lottery-funded projects that deserve national recognition for their work.
The National Lottery Awards, the annual celebration of the UK’s favourite Lottery-funded projects, shine a light on the diverse range of organisations using funding to transform communities and change lives. Every week National Lottery players raise £33m for good causes, and over 420,000 Lottery grants have been awarded since 1994. Seven projects will be recognised at a star-studded event broadcast on BBC One later this year and win a £2,000 cash prize.
Visit nationallotteryawards.org.uk to nominate projects. All entries must be in by midnight on Wednesday, March 12.
