Jonathan Tuchner, National Lottery, said: “We are so happy to have received so many nominations, highlighting the outstanding work that National Lottery-funded projects are doing across the UK. It is no secret that these are difficult times. So it’s wonderful to see so many people and projects giving back to their communities.
“Brands like these are possible because of the National Lottery players who raise more than £30 million each week for good causes.”
“All of these projects do incredible work in their local communities and they fully deserve to be in the National Lottery Awards Project of the year 2022.”
