Nominate your unsung heroes

Dear Editor

Your readers can help to recognise ordinary people doing extraordinary things. How?

Well, the National Lottery Awards 2018 are open for entries. They celebrate the amazing work behind the success of local arts, education, health, environmental, sports, heritage, and community projects.

Every week National Lottery players raise £30 million for good causes and, since 1994, more than 525,000 Lottery grants have been awarded.

This has raised vital funds that fuel new opportunities, encourage creativity, fund sports projects and tackle loneliness to name but a few, which could not have happened without the support of lottery players.

Seven projects will be recognised at a star-studded awards ceremony broadcast on BBC One later this year and each will win a £5000 cash prize.

You can nominate at www. nationallotteryawards.org.uk/awards and all entries must be in by midnight on Friday, April 6.
