COMMUNITY projects which have won lottery funding could be in line for an extra £2,000 from the lottery.

Nominations are invited for the National Lottery Awards, 2010, a quest for the past 15 years’ best lottery-funded projects.

In the past year alone, more than £9.5million in lottery funding has gone to projects in Essex, including £127,000 for the playground at Eastwood Park in Rayleigh Road, £10,000 for a bike club at the Castledon School, Wickford, and £10,000 to Canvey Community Archive.
