Education Award
Whether young or old, we can all learn new skills. The National Lottery invests millions of pounds in interesting, innovative projects designed to help people do that. We want to inspire everyone with projects to get older people online; train people to help them find work; or provide fun and stimulation for disabled children. The projects below were finalists in the Best Education Project category of the 2013 National Lottery Awards.
