BANKIES are being urged to nominate their very own ‘hometown hero’ or ‘lockdown legend’.
This year the annual search for the most popular National Lottery funded projects will, for the first time, honour individuals who have made an extraordinary impact in their community during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Winners in each category will receive a £3,000 cash prize for their organisation and a trophy.
New figures reveal more than £2.1 million of National Lottery funding has been invested in good causes in West Dunbartonshire in 2018/19.
Jonathan Tuchner, from The National Lottery, said: “Now, more than ever, people have rallied together, and individuals have stepped up to the mark to carry out inspirational acts and extraordinary endeavours to help up and down the country.
“Thanks to National Lottery players, up to £600 million has been made available to support communities throughout the UK amid the coronavirus crisis.
“People have used National Lottery funding in amazing ways during these challenging times.
“We want to honour them and recognise their selfless dedication.”
