The 25th Birthday National Lottery Awards
The National Lottery Awards are the annual search to find the UK's favourite Lottery-funded projects and athletes.
National Lottery players raise £30 million each week for projects and athletes across the UK. The Awards are a great way of celebrating the ordinary people doing extraordinary things with National Lottery funding.
