LOTTERY show host Jenni Falconer is calling on people across the Far North to nominate local good causes for the National Lottery Awards 2012 – the annual search to find the UK’s favourite lottery-funded projects.
New figures reveal that in the last year over £14 million of lottery funding was awarded across the Highlands.
Jenni is encouraging any organisation – big or small – that has received lottery funding to enter the awards.
“National Lottery players raise a staggering £30 million every week for good causes,” she said.
“An impressive variety of lottery-funded projects have touched the lives of many in the Highlands.”
Jenni said the awards recognise the unsung heroes, selfless volunteers and dedicated workers improving lives. “There are literally thousands of projects across the UK deserving of recognition,” said Jenni.
“So if you know of a project that is making an outstanding impact in your community, we want to hear from you.”
Those which make it to the finals will receive national recognition at a star-studded event to be broadcast on BBC One later this year. They will also have a chance to win a £2000 cash prize.
