The search is on to find worthy projects in the National Lottery Awards

The National Lottery Awards are now open for nominations.   Since the National Lottery began in 1994, over £27 billion has been invested in Good Causes across the UK.  Jenni Falconer, the National Lottery Draw Show host, is encouraging any organisation – big or small - that has received Lottery funding to enter the Awards.  

Jenni says:

“National Lottery players raise a staggering £30 million every week for Good Causes.  An impressive variety of Lottery-funded projects have touched the lives of many.  For example, Lottery funding is supporting war veterans, helping vulnerable children and transforming parks and local sporting facilities.

“The National Lottery Awards recognise the unsung heroes, selfless volunteers and dedicated workers improving lives with Lottery funding.  There are literally thousands of Lottery-funded projects across the UK deserving of recognition.  So if you know of a project that is making an outstanding impact in your community, we want to hear from you.”  

The entrants that make it to the finals of The National Lottery Awards will receive national recognition at a star-studded event, broadcast on BBC One, later this year. They will also have a chance to win a £2000 cash prize.

If you are interested in nominating a project, please note that entries must be received by noon on 12th March 2012.
