Launch of the National Lottery Awards 2010

By John Cheves

TV favourite, Sally Lindsay, joined volunteers from the WRVS at the London Transport Museum to launch The National Lottery Awards 2010.  The WRVS and the London Transport Museum have both benefited from the £25 million a week raised by Lottery players for projects across the UK.

Since 1994, over £24 billion has been raised by Lottery players for projects across the UK, and now, The National Lottery is encouraging any project that has received funding over the past 15 years to enter the Awards and gain recognition for their work.

National Lottery Awards ambassador and former Coronation Street actress, Sally, says: "These Awards are an annual search to find the UK's favourite Lottery-funded projects and recognise the dedication of the people behind them who are making a difference in their communities."
