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.
Now in their 15th year, the Awards recognise the incredible difference that Lottery-funded projects and athletes have made to people, places and communities all across the UK through the 535,000 grants awarded since 1994.
