WE ARE calling on the people of Oxfordshire to nominate their favourite lottery-funded projects for The National Lottery Awards.
The awards are the annual search to find the UK’s favourite lottery-funded projects, and recognise the dedication of the people behind them.
Every week lottery players raise £25m for projects all across the UK, making a difference to people, places and communities.
We want to hear from your readers about any lottery-funded projects that have had a positive impact on the local area, made a real difference to people’s lives or anyone who is personally involved in transforming their community with the help of lottery funding.
The awards have seven categories, each reflecting the main areas of lottery funding: arts; sport; heritage; health; environment, education, voluntary and charity projects.
The projects that make it to the finals will appear on a star-studded prime-time BBC1 TV show later this year. They will also have a chance to win a £2,000 cash prize.
So if you want to see a local winner, visit lotterygoodcauses. org.uk to find out more.
Entries must be received by 5pm on February 12.
VICCI MOYLES, The National Lottery, London
