FARESHARE Cymru, which works in Newport and across Gwent, is in the running for Best Environment Project in this year’s National Lottery Awards, and now needs your readers’ support to help it win.
The FareShare Cymru project re-distributes surplus edible food from the food industry to organisations throughout South East Wales to help feed people in need. It also provides volunteering and work experience opportunities to people, including those whom the project is helping. FareShare Cymru is up against six other finalists from around the UK, competing for a £2,000 prize and the chance to feature on a BBC One show in September. The National Lottery Awards celebrate and recognise the inspirational and life-changing impact of National Lottery funded projects. Each week, National Lottery players raise more than £33 million for arts, sport, heritage and voluntary projects across the UK. Voting closes at midnight on Wednesday 23 July. To cast your vote go to lotterygoodcauses.org.uk/awards Martin Kemp, Actor and National Lottery Awards Ambassador
