The lockdown legends who have helped make lives better

EVERY WEEK YOU RAISE £30M* BY PLAYING THE NATIONAL LOTTERY – DISCOVER WHAT HAPPENS TO JUST SOME OF THOSE FUNDS…

Providing free weekend breaks for grieving parents. Raising awareness of cancer in the BAME community. Teaching low-income families how to cook healthy meals. These are just a few of the remarkable things people across the UK have done with the help of grants from The National Lottery.

The National Lottery Awards is the annual search to honour the UK’s favourite Lottery-funded people and projects, and this year almost 5,000 incredible individuals were nominated. The awards celebrate the amazing achievements of a huge range of projects across the UK. Other winners this year include a couple who provide food parcels using fresh produce that would otherwise go to waste, and a 16-year-old who put her own problems aside in order to help others.

We’d now like to introduce you to this year’s incredible winning line-up, across categories ranging from Health to Heritage.

And don’t forget: it’s good causes like these that benefit from the £30million* you raise every week by playing The National Lottery.
