Your vote is needed by two north west groups

The Awards recognise the difference that Lottery-funded projects, both big and small, make to local communities.

The cross-community inter-generational WW1 shared history project, ‘We Were Brothers’ is one of only 10 projects to make it through in the Best Heritage Project category. We Were Brothers: WW1 A Shared History, is a play, a DVD, a book, an interactive website and a youth project remembering the heritage of soldiers from both the Unionist and the Nationalist traditions who served side by side with the British army in WW1, by Handful Productions.

The other group needing votes is ‘Hands That Talk’, which is one of the 10 projects in the Best Voluntary/Charity Project category. Hands That Talk improves the quality of life for deaf people by providing access to employment, education and services. It has also enabled the Deaf Community to experience a much more deaf aware society where communication barriers have been broken down and opportunities exist for personal growth and confidence building. The project has helped to train much needed new interpreters.
