Letters / Lottery awards

We would love to hear from your readers about local National 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 £34 million for good causes and over 450,000 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 £3,000 cash prize.

Readers can visit www.nationallotteryawards.org.uk to nominate projects. All entries must be in by midnight on Wednesday March 9.
