Letters / Lottery awards
We would love to hear from your readers about local National Lottery funded projects that deserve national recognition for their work.
The National Lottery Awards, the annual celebration of the UK’s favourite Lottery-funded projects, shine a light on the diverse range of organisations using funding to transform communities and change lives.
Every week National Lottery players raise £33 million for good causes and over 420,000 Lottery grants have been awarded since 1994.
Seven projects will be recognised at a star-studded event broadcast on BBC One later this year and win a £2,000 cash prize.
Readers can visit www.nationallotteryawards.org.uk to nominate projects. All entries must be in by mdnight on Wednesday 12 March.

Become a supporter of Shetland News
Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 630 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.
Your contribution will ensure Shetland News can: -
- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;
- Give a voice to the community;
- Grow site traffic further;
- Research and publish more in-depth news, including more Shetland Lives features.
