The Awards are the annual search to find the UK’s favourite Lottery-funded projects and Stepney Bank Stables has reached the final stage of the competition in the Best Education Project category. All of the projects in the running have already received Lottery funding and a short film documenting the amazing work of each of the 21 finalists will be broadcast on live TV, before the winners of each of the seven categories are announced.

Stepney Bank Stables is sending members of its teams to London to attend this annual night of celebration. The National Lottery’s Big Night will be hosted by John Barrowman and broadcast live from London’s Roundhouse from 19.40. The Awards will be attended by special celebrity guest presenters, including Benedict Cumberbatch, Amir Khan, Larry Lamb, Matt Baker, Julia Bradbury and William Roache MBE. Musical entertainment will be provided courtesy of McFly and Taio Cruz and there will be a special extravaganza performance by Lottery-funded projects.

Stepney Banks Stables in Newcastle upon Tyne offers under-privileged and disabled children the chance to ride, look after and learn about horses, as well as develop their social and practical skills to give them better opportunities and raise their expectations.
Now in their seventh year, The National Lottery Awards recognise the difference that Lottery-funded projects, both big and small, make to local communities, and celebrate the achievements of the people behind them.
-
The Awards have seven categories each reflecting an area of Lottery funding: sport; heritage; arts; environment; education; health (in association with iVillage.co.uk) and voluntary/charity (in association with Woman magazine).
-
As well as gaining national recognition, the winner of each category in the Awards will take home a trophy and a £2,000 cash prize to spend on the project.
