Video: Sports projects call for support ahead of National Lottery Awards

With only two days left to vote, sports category finalists are calling on national support ahead of this year’s National Lottery Awards.
Sport Category - National Lottery Awards from Kelvin DeSena on Vimeo.
The National Lottery Awards search annually for the UK’s favourite Lottery-funded projects and recognise the positive impact that Lottery-funded projects – both big and small – make to local communities.
Competing for votes in the Best Sport Category are:
- Back to Netball, which encourages women of all ages across England to take up the sport.
- Longridge Activity Centre in Marlow, an innovative outdoor activity centre enjoyed by people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
- Wheels for Wellbeing which is based in Brixton and promotes disability cycling across south London.
There are three finalists in each of the seven categories in the Awards that reflect the main areas of Lottery funding: arts, education, environment, health, heritage, sport, and voluntary/charity.
The winner in each category, decided by public vote, will be unveiled at a special star-studded BBC One Show later in the year, with winners receiving a £2,000 cash prize to spend on their project as well as a coveted National Lottery Awards trophy.
Voting ends at midnight on Sunday 28 October so log your vote quick at www.lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/awards.
