The National Lottery Awards are an annual search to find the UK's favourite Lottery funded projects. Lottery players raise £36 million each week for projects all across the UK and the Awards highlight how that funding has changed the UK for the better.
One of the local recipients of National Lottery funding has been The Way Youth Zone - a great venue in the centre of the City which gives the young people of Wolverhampton the opportunity to access a massive range of activities including sports, fitness, dance, arts, music, media, enterprise and wellbeing.
The venue gives its users access to a high spec music room, a 3G pitch, enterprise media suite, climbing wall, multi use 4 court sports hall, cafe, dance studio, gym, cooking area, general recreation area and much more..
We’ve been fortunate to be the guests of the The Way and to see first hand the wonderful facilities and the difference which the commitment of its many volunteers is making to the lives of the young people using the facility and benefiting the City as whole.
The Way is one of this years finalists in the National Lottery Youth Awards and with your vote they’ll be in a position to attend the awards event and to have their work in the City highlighted on BBC One. As one of the winners they’ll also receive an additional £3,000 of Lottery funding.
It only takes a minute to vote so please follow the link now and show your support for their wonderful work.
