“Lottery funding can make a big difference to our music therapy project,” said Headway East London Chief Executive Miriam Lantsbury. “The awards are a chance to spread the word about what we do—so we’re hoping people get behind us and vote.”
The centre in Kingsland Road, Shoreditch, was chosen from 500 charities up and down the country for the semi-finals shortlist of 70 projects, in seven categories.
But it can only reach the final round to appear on BBC 1’s National Lottery Awards if enough supporters cast their votes online here or phone 0844-6861624. Voting ends July 10.
